thumb Looks like those tender trucks were modified maybe? The bolster looks like Walthers, but I can see the original AF side frames I think. I can be corrected though! I think trainz has listed some of the correct tender trucks on ebay. Not sure they are currently listed, but worth a check.

Yes Terry, I am afraid you have fallen pretty hard. But don't stop now....

And just wait until you get bitten by the streamlined bug.

I love the red window frames. Mine are gray. There are some interesting variations.

Hey, nothing wrong with a 571, or its brothers...
