All new tender tanks are getting pretty common these days, age having taken its toll on roughly 100 year old originals.
A notable exception being RGS #20's original tank. It is made of wrought iron, and considerably more rust resistant than steel. The steel bottom addition had to be replaced with stainless steel due to being rusted out, but the balance of the tank marches on.
