Well after seeing the picture I am not so sure I will be buying it. Maybe if enough people tell Lionel this is the wrong tender they can correct it before it is built. It looks like the tenders for the 4-6-0 or the Mikados is a better match for the 630.

The description also says it has electrocouplers on the front and back. I do not see that in the photo. Lets hope this photo is just a generic rendering. Fingers crossed...
There are 6 other engines being offered for this model with different road names. They look all the same except for the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific that have different tenders. Unfortunately, the artist rending is probably fairly close to what is going to look like. Like with the Southern Heavy Mikado that has not come out yet, it will look like the other Heavy Mikados that came out earlier this year, but it is not correct for the Southern Railroad. My point is Lionel is manufacturing engines with multiple road names such as for 2-8-0, Heavy Mikado, but they use the same tooling for each road name which may or may not be accurate for each road name.
