Reply To: Mikado Oil Tender?

[Jerry Michels]

The railroad often changed tenders depending on the area the locomotives worked. If you are modeling the Missouri/Arkansas portion of the MoPac, you would have seen both oil and coal burning locomotives on the Missouri Division. I think it is your choice. I’d leave it as a coal burner. If you convert to oil, you also have to remove the ashpans under the firebox since oil burners didn’t produce ash and clinkers. Jerry Michels
