So, from an estate sale I have these three steamers and four tenders. Would you please, help me out by matching them up for me. The no number model appears to be a repainted Scout. Thanks.

Well the 671 belongs with the streamlined tender directly below it.The others I am not sure.
2035 should get a 6466w tender. Should be stamped on the bottom of it. It looks it's probably the one on the bottom left.
Nice haul!
The middle steamer with no clear number should get the tender with the plastic trucks on the lower right.
Thanks for solving the mystery, gentlemen. I knew there would be those who could match them up.
3J&E,
Could pass for a Western Brand!
Joe couple them up and run them, any way your Grandson wants. Spend as much time with him as you can, it's something I will never get to do. Never take one minute of the time God gives you with your boys and Grandson for granted, it can all be gone in an eye plink.

671 goes with the Pennsylvania Tender, 2035 goes with bottom left tender. I have both sets. They match to what I have. Hope that helps
And from what it looks, the Scout Engine appears to be a 1001 or very similar and would go with the bottom right tender

So right you are. Very nice sentiment. Thank you!

Can you post a few pictures of the scout from different angles? Someone here could probably identify which number it is. Is the shell diecast or plastic? Smoke unit?
As an aside, one of these tenders is a far better model of a real one than the others, in case you care.
The one in the center at bottom is actually from crisp, well-detailed true Post-War tooling and is unusually realistic. I think that it is a model of an Erie switcher tender, but I am not sure. It approaches true "O" in size (for a switcher tender). It even sits down low on the trucks, eliminating the high-pockets toy look.
My 2055 ATSF-style small Hudson (another PW better-tooling piece) came with one and I always thought that "my" engine and tender looked better than the others in 1955.
