PRR M1B Tender

How do you know the Lionel model is right?     You really should go to the PRRT&HS (Pennsylvania RR Technical & Historical Society)  website and see if you can a drawing for the prototype tender.   

I will check there. I figured using the Lionel model would be good for the measurements. But you're right, drawings of the prototype are very useful too.

I found one: http://prr.railfan.net/diagram...te&sz=sm&fr=

That would be the tender built for the M1A/B.   It has the major dimensions and you can probably interpolate better from there.    The M1Bs were modified from M1A.    I think the modifications were internal and not visible.    The visible modifications would have been a result of the same shopping, but not the purpose.

True. I built it today in school, it looks great.
