Michael, I considered the B'mann 2-6-0 tender, but it is too large for my use. It may work for a later era... 1900 to 1920. The tenders in the 1870 - 90 era had a deck that was as wide as the engine cab, in this case 9', but the tank sitting on the deck was narrower, maybe 8' or a little wider, but definitely not 9'. The height of the tank needs to be about 2'6" to 3'6", depending on the particular engine, and about 16' long. The deck is typically about 18' to 19' depending, to allow room for the fireman in front and possibly a toolbox in the back. A few were even longer, still with a 16' tank.
