Has anyone done a Coal to Oil conversion for this engine?
Photographs, drawings or parts supplier would be appreciated
Thanks
Rod
Many.
Some hand-made, and CSC Innovations used to make two versions for them, rounded and flat-topped.
We just make them to fit where the coal went.
We also re-mount the backup light to either the deck or the top of the bunker.
No current photos, but I can get some later.
Closest is this, a "borrowed" tender behind a Mikado under test.

Mr B'mann
When ya guys gonna get around to doin a whaleback tender for the 10 wheeler?
Good excuse for doin' an SP version of engine ;D
I have constructed a "mock-up" of my intended Coal to Oil conversion.
After a few minor adjustments i will make the final conversion from styrene plastic.

Here is my Oil Tank Insert made from styrene plastic.
Note the changes from my card stock mock-up.
Now to paint it flat black and repost

Here is the painted and detailed version of my Coal to Oil Tender conversion.
Now to add the road name.

Any chance we could see some larger pics? It looks really really good and I would love to see the details.
Rod,
Looks like you've done a good job with the oil bunker.
Nice work, but a couple of larger pictures would be nice.

O.K. I will try to post the pictures Larger. The "Photobucket" web page compressed them. I will try to figure out a work-arround.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Rod
As you can see I finally worked it out!! ;D
