Did NYC Hudson's only use 2 types of tenders?

 Model NYC 4-6-4 Hudson's are typically shown with a "standard" tender or the "Super Hudson" with the PT.

Did NYC ever use the tender from a Niagara or a Mohawk behind a J1e or a J3a Hudson?

Well, technically no, but starting after WWII, in 1946 the NYC began equipping ALL Hudsons with PT tenders.

Was a tender exclusively dedicated to its numbered engine only?

No.

 

The first NYC Hudson (5200) came with a 8-wheel tender, so a third type.

Big 4/NYC used one to pull passenger trains from Indianapolis to Louisville Central Station. The engine used was a Hudson, and it had an 8 wheeled tender for the engine.....I saw it there when I was a Kid, a few times, then never saw it again, as it had been switched to 12 wheeled tender..........!

There were actually 5 classes of PT tenders. Also there is plenty of footage showing standard tenders on Hudsons in the last couple of years of steam particularly in the midwest.

As the NYC Hudsons got PT tenders, the B&A got all the hand me down tenders to replace the really small ones the B&A had for their Hudsons and Berkshires.  

Obviously there's lots more for o scale NYC hudsons that can be produced. I know its mostly cosmetic but I'm fond of the j1e,  C.C.C. & STL, that mth did. Never seen a scale  8 wheel NYC tender.

Great references and info. 

Thanks guys!

I do not think a model of NYC Hudson 5200 with its 8-wheel tender was ever made; the 8-wheel tender was replaced within a year by a 12-wheel tender. Pictures of 5200 with the 8-wheel tender can be found in the Hudson books Thoroughbreds and Know Thy Hudsons.
