Hello all!
I've been trains for a while and somethings really been bugging me;
I've been frustrated trying to find a decent vanderbuilt tender that I can use with many of my steam engines. I've only found 2 tenders in the whole library. One is the commen 12 wheel that initialy came out behind the P-8 Pacific. the other is behind the 2-10-0 oil loco.
The 12 wheeler is in my opinion quite ugly (no offense to the builder). The 8 wheel tender is Idealy shaped and proportioned except that it is much too large overall. I mainly would like a tender like those found behind SP C-8 Consolidations. If anyone would be interested in building one I would greatly appreciate it!
One other request, I am repainting an AS616 model, and the texture references do not match well to the shape file, some parts of the hood are referenced to the side of the walkway. I would like some assistance in changing that. Also, I need the marker light boxes on the short hood moved so that they sit up on the top corners to fit a Dynamic Brake grid on the side. I can provide pictures if necessary.Also, I like to tell you a little about me if you don't mind!
I'm a volenteer at the Arizona Railway Museum in Chandler, Arizona.
I do all sorts of mechanical work there preserving and restoring locomotives and equipment. One of my commen tasks is maintaining our 1950s Baldwin DRS 6-6-1500, wich we recently got running again a year ago. you can see pictures at <http://www.azrymuseum.org/>Thank you very much!
Matthew ImbrognoPS, my favorite philosophy-
If it don't work, get a bigger hammer!

>The 8 wheel tender is Idealy shaped and proportioned except that it is much too large overall.Sounds like a job for Shape File Manager

Leiv Eiriksson was first - Christoffer Columbus used a Viking map!

>Your best bet at getting those changes made would be to contact the original model builder. In fact, he/she may be the only one with access to the original shape file.Hopefully you can reach the model builder through the address in the "readme" file.Thanks for the information on the museum!Henry
