replacement tender for 4-8-4 FEF-3

[ALS101]

I have a NYC FEF-3 Niagara Item #50302 and I want to redo it as the UP #844 FEF-3 Northern, however I need to change the coal tender to an oil tender and I see Bachmann has a Shell I might be able to use item #508x-00601, will this fit on my NYC Tender chassis?  Any help would be appreciated.

the bachmann niagara is not a UP prototype it is an NYC prototype, if you want the UP tender for say I would say look for the overland limited train set or locomotive tender, or get a rivarossi tender

bachmann's overland limmited tender is U.P. and is oil fired.
You can buy the tender seperatly from they'er parts and survice departmant at estore.bachmanntrains.com

I Have one more question, does anyone know where I can buy an Auxillary water tender to go with my UP FEF-3 #840, I have seen the Aux Tenders from the Veranda Loco's but they are so expensive and in researching on the Aux water tank I did find that UP did convert the Gas turbine to Water to work with the #844 and #3985, anyway if anyone knows where I can buy one for a decent price, I'd appreciate it, also any knowledge you can give me on this project I'm trying to do.  For the folks that already helped me, I won an FEF-3 #840 Rivarossi, and will change it to #844, I really don't want to redo my Niagara, But again I thank the folks that gave me info on my Niagara, you all are great folks!!!

Congratulations on your Rivarossi FEF. I've heard positive
things about that model. I'm sure you'll like it.

you might try Ebay, but I don't think you will find one at a decent price.

most people I know have bought an auxiliary in brass or kitbashed/scratchbuilt it
