I messaged the man who made this custom kitbashed Lionel Prewar 225e with a Canadian Pacific twist on it... I wonder what kind of tender this is, Do you guys know? Could you shed some light on this topic?

It looks like a high rail approximation of a standard Canadian Pacific 8 wheel tender, as used behind Mikados and heavier Pacifics. Your tender is OK !!
Some of the heavier CPR Pacifics used similar (or the same) 12 wheel tenders as used with CPR 4-6-4's.
Hey Mason, I didn't see your message but to answer your question, I scratch built the tender to resemble the photographs that I was able to source.

what did you scratch build it out of? wood? styrene? and what did you use for the lovely decals on the sides? and could you tell me what you used for the project in terms of parts? Thanks!
Mason, sent you an Email.
Great model, thank you for the picture. Weaver CP Hudson Model, several years ago with a six axle tender. The tender could be displayed either coal or oil fuel.
Hey Mason, great job on kitbashong the loco.
