I picked one up last week, I must say I am quite impressed with its performance.

Good job Bachmann, keep the good ideas coming!

Excellent job but if you will permit one minor nitpick?

On a real oil burning tender they usually have vent pipes for the oil tank otherwise, as the fuel is used, the lowering fuel level will create a partial vacuum in the oil tank and the oil pump will not be able to supply oil to the firebox and the fire will go out

The correct vents are available from the usual brass detail suppliers.

Yes plan on simply using a bent piece of brass wire to simulate a vent pipe
