True, Pieter. Also, I saw 3-axle tenders in stores that had the center axle missing; including Trost Hobbies in Chicago in ~1964 which had 4 different AF locos in a showcase, all with the same 4-axle tender, like a Hudson, Pacific, K-5, and Atlantic. Did we mention the AF catalog where the GP-7 was shown had it equipped with PA sideframes. The closest to that was prototype C&O SD-24 units were delivered with Alco tri-mount trucks from old RSD-5s. .
