I have a Lionel tender, it is a 6 wheel tender with no number to identify it. Would like to know what it is and what engine it came with. Anybody know? Tried to post some pictures of it, but I don't how. Maybe someone could help me with that. Thanks Dockside

Hi Dockside
Have you found an answer yet? Typically the tender numbers are ink stamped in silver on the bottom of the chassis. I do recall 2 postwar tenders with 6 wheel trucks. After searching I cam up with the #2426W which went with the #726 and #723 engines. and the #2671W Pennsylvania Tender possibly paired up with the #671 and #681 engines. Not sure of any more or any newer versions

Hi mtnman, Not for sure. I just paired with 681 engine. The info I came up with, that engine had a 6-wheel tender. I guess it's got to be a 2426W or a 2671W that you mentioned in your replay. I could post a picture, if you would like to see it. I have looked it over many times and there is no number amy place on it. I guess it cot rubbed off somehow. Dockside

Hi Dockside
Yes the rubber stamped numbers over the years do get rubbed off. I have a tank car that I cant identify because someone put a price tag right on it and the glue has blurred it. Search the different ones on the internet and try to match the one you have with what you find. There may be more than 2 but 2 was all I could find.
