I never even thought of using a couple of slopeback tenders for a steeple cab build! Solves a whole lot of detail issues like a headlight and the curves on the front/back. Going to have to scour the junk boxes at train shows a little more closely for parts and ideas now.

Funnily enough, the first time I saw a pic of steeplecab loco sometime in the 70s, I thought, "Huh!  Looks like a couple slopeback tenders!"

Yeppers!  As my .sig says...  ;-)
