hollpoll. I think Rivarossi screwed up mate. The tender on the big boys, challengers and they used some on 4-8-4 they all have three water fill openings on rear side(top) I don't see any on this loco. If you want, check out my vid: "model trains big boy 4015 & challengers"

Just for some information the Challengers where built in the year 1942 at ALCo where the big boy was built in the year 1941 at ALCo and the railroads that bot the Challengers are Rio Grande , Union Pacific,and Clinchfield are the railroads that have the Challengers and 1 of Union Pacific's Challenger up in Wyoming is still running and the 4-8-4.

If you take the time to read the narrative I did say "the design was based on the Union Pacific Big Boys" which it was, as I was taken to task by another viewer !
