Spectrum, or Plus Line?

Prototypically, I know of no 4-8-4 with a Vanderbilt tender, especially a 16,000 gallon one. By the time the 4-8-4 appeared, technology had caught up with the Vandy.  AFAIK, the 4-6-4, 2-8-4, and 4-8-4 never had a Vandy, though the VT&P doesn't know that.

Check out the CN 4-8-4's with the Vandy.

Thanks but I do not need it to be prototypical. Also thanks for the pictures.

Well with the pictures available you can claim to be prototypical if you wanted.

No surprise but the GTW 4-8-4's also ran Vandy tenders.
