Bob Russell's N Scale version.

As the prototype photos show, several different tenders would have appeared on these locomotives.

Many of these locos received 9K and 10K tenders in later years. In HO scale, the roundhouse Oil Tender #00401 is a reasonable ATSF 12K G. W. tender and can be used to kitbash a smaller unit. However it will require 6 wheel trucks such as those available from Precision Scale.

Which tenders belong on these engines?

John Moore provided the following information:

In 1929 when these locomotives entered the Santa Fe roster, they were equipped with 7500 gallon NYC square shaped tender body. By 1934 most had been replaced with a standard 8000 gallon Orient tender or a 7750 gallon NYC tender. Each of these tenders rode on 4 wheel arch bar trucks.
