TOPIC: I-10 to M-1sa conversion
I-10 to M-1sa conversion 8 years 4 weeks ago #5185

While Studying some photos, I came across a couple items of Interest about the M-1's. First is that a few of them had high capacity sand domes which look really cool. And in the case of 1714, it received at Some point a high capacity tender as well. This seems to be quite an exceptional tender of which this Is the only example I've seen. Main features are the full width side frames, heightened rear tank sides/deck, and the added coal box. As seen here it looks freshly shopped. Anybody have any info on this tender? At the moment, just a length dimension would be great to get a drawing going with.
