Re: Tenders

I have a question about Tenders, those important cars that supply our favorite locomotives.
Recently both the C&NW #30 and the D&RGW 315 had their tender deck planking replaced. Why were they built of wood and are the modern K closs 2-8-2s also built with wood decks under their tanks?
Seems like the weight of water and coal that was involved would require a steel base for all of it to sit on.
Thanks,
Ted
