38xx oil bunkers

Hi Guys,

I am after a bit of information on the oil bunkers that Frisco used on the USRA 3800 class 0-6- yard switchers.

Is it a general design that was used on other locomotives.

Does the oil bunker occupy what was once the area for the coal?

Or is it just a tank that rests on top of the tender top?

Thanks in advance.

The oil bunkers occupied most, if not all the space previously dedicated for coal.

Please see this thread for some “standard plans” .

Thanks Karl,
I missed that one during my search.
Cheers,
Brian.

 

Brian,
As a KC guy, I really like your 19th st. moniker. How did that come about?

 

Hi Karl,

Once up on a time i was building a HO scaled switching layout that covered the area`s around the Rudy Patrick seed and mill buildings and then ran to the area in front of the Holsum foods building and the 19th street bridge,hence the use of the 19th st moniker.
What could be more apropriate for KC layout builder!.
