HO - M.W. Baldwin Early Tender - ARU Motor Truck

An HO Model of a Tender created by M.W. Baldwin sometime in the early 1830's. As I understand it, the Tender is typical for orders requested of Baldwin during their first decade or so of operation. I have designed this to accompany my M.W. Baldwin 4-2-0 Engine, in order to drive it.

The model is a single piece body, intended for motorization using an ARU Model Power truck, with a 17mm wheelbase and 9.5mm Drive Wheels, (I have followed advice from Iron Genesis Model Works, and used the ARU Model C4025 ARU power 17A. A link to his tender can be found by clicking here.) Couplers for the rear of the tender can be fashioned of Brass or Steel Wire to couple with freight cars.
