Tender size on new Alco 2-6-0

Can anyone tell me if the tender on the new Alco 2-6-0 loco is the same size as on the 4-6-0 loco  or smaller? I feel that the tender on the 4-6-0 is grossly oversized  in proportion to the engine itself. From the pictures posted on the Bachmann web site it seems like the Alco indeed does have a shorter tender.

Thanks in advance.

It is shorter. In photos, check the distance between the tender trucks.
