Copy that, if your model has tender patches then I could tell which one it's based off. I'll post some photos of some candidates. The 490 which had a side mounted tender light also had it's piping that is normally on the side of the air tank mounted under the cab and it's smokebox front had a hand rail in upside down "U" shape unlike all the other K-37's which had an upright "U" shape for the smokebox hand rail. The K-37's that had side mounted tender lights in the late 40's and early 50's would be as follows: 490, 491, 493, 495. 497 had one after 1960 when it's tender was scrapped after a wreck it was involved in at Cumbres with 498. Will post pictures in a few mins. Thanks and love this thread!
