they had this silver one for $8. I put it with one of the engines for the pic.The engine is $20.

 

That's too nice for my engine. It looks just fine with that engine. Perhaps you should start your own Hafner collection? 

for $8 I would paint the sides to match the loco and leave the ends plain, just like Hafner did. I believe your original 2000 streamliner came with a conventional blue over black tender,

but they also made blue and silver tenders to use with the blue 1010s

Thanks for the info Jim. I think that tender needs to stay with that engine. I will look for something with a little more "patina" to better fit with my loco. 

Guess I need to get shopping.

"You need a new to you train".......don't need any of them new fangly trains.....

I've always liked this flow chart:

              Do you need a new train?

       |                                                 |

     Yes                                               No

       |                                                 |

Go buy a train                      You must be mistaken

                                                          |

                                                    Go buy a train
