I am building a bowser northern locomotive kit and bashing it into the SP&S # 700 that resides in Portlands brooklyn roundhouse right now. The only problem is that the model comes with the wrong tender style. The tender looks similar to a vanderbuilt tender but the water tank is squished into an oval shape, I think. I think that it is a G1 tender, it has 6-wheel trucks, possibly 8 wheel truck. I havent been able to find the Tender for sale on its own, or sold with another locomotive. The SP&S was jointly owned by GN and NP, I have already searched GN models, so that would leave a possibilty in NP prototype, or possibly its own design. The locomotive is built by BLW in 1938. If you have any info let me know.
 
It is the same as an NP A-3, if that helps at all, or if it doesn't, still an A-3. I don't know about models of such except brass.
 
Whew, tenders. I'm not sure, but I think you'll be stuck putting your own tank on a tender shell.
