Check Bowser www.bowser.com and Bachmann www.bachmanntrains.com. They both sell extra tenders for certain locos. Don’t know how well they might suit your needs.

i looked at thoses website and the tenders they have are not the one i am looking for i am looking at trying to get the ones that union pacific uses… the yellow ones that are more streamline for the extra oil to run the challenger and extra disel fuel … i have seen both the short tender car that up uses on the challenger runs and the long one … such as the one that is in a set on ebay (item number 180179008873) on different layouts at the train expo in utah and the modelers would not tell me where they got them from… i even checked with the hobby stores here in twon and they do not know where to get the tenders either

thanks

I have 4 of these now. I got 2 when I got my OMI Turbine and 2 when I got my Challenger. I have seen these on Ebay before. I will check to see if I can find you one. I remember them going for around $360.00 on Ebay.
