Y3a BLE Tender

[NW Mailing List]

The tenders for the K1s are interesting for me.  I'd personally like to know the numbers of K1s that got an ex-C&O tender.  While looking through the archives I saw a variety of tenders on the K1s.  I saw that 100, I believe, had a P&LE tender.  Did N&W buy any P&LE tenders?  Also what tenders were used on the oil burners?

Thanks, Evan Miller
