I think this would be a good move, especially for a 2-6-2. Baldwin catalogue locomotives and/or actual examples could provide a basis. Baldwin built locos on a standardised basis, I am sure that in their catalogues there were tank and tender versions of essentially the same loco. A tender 2-6-2 could be similar to a Maine OF 2-6-2, and various fairly similar tanks (some 0-6-2, some 2-6-2, some with side and some with saddle tanks) operated in Hawaii, Australia (puffing billy 2-6-2t) and other places. Even if all versions modelled were not identical to an actual loco, they would be catalogue locos, and close enough to appeal to a range of modellers.
Bachmann has already used the approach of variations on a basic model, the 0-4-0 and 0-4-2 Porter tanks (sadly not currently available) and the outside and inside frame versions of the 4-4-0 are examples.
QuoteThe #10 was a Baldwin SN "40675" OF 2-6-2 built in 1913, sister engine #14 SN "40764" operated without a tender.
