Actually we did that in the 1980's. Before the 483's usable tender went away with 482, we had a spare tender which we kept lettered Rio Grande. When we ran a charter, I would go out and change the number on the rear of the tender, slap it on the rear of whatever engine was desired for the charter and away we'd go. Not every engine was suitable for a swap as some engines road higher and the gangway hieght couldn't be very far off or the apron wouldn't lay right.
