Bachmann Spectrum tenders are great for kitbashers. I just put together a kitbash project using a Spectrum tender behind another manufacture's engine.
I have been using Bachmann tenders behind all of my steam engines no matter who made them. I changed a Y3 2-8-8-2 Mallet into something a liitle DM&IR M1 class mallet like, which had a small tender.
Had to sacrifice the trailing truck for the drawbar mount.
