Jeff,

It's not clear whether the D&RG tank was every "modernized", or how long after 1910 it remained standing.  Chris, is correct though; usually the external structures around the support posts disappeared by 1890-1900, with the smaller frost boxes thereafter within the supporting posts.  Did that happen to the D&RG tank in Kokomo?  Who knows, unless someone's holding out a photo from us--and if Chris hasn't found it, it's likely not out there.

But since you're modeling a hypothetical prolongation of D&RG operations on the Blue River Branch, into the 1930s, don't you think the D&RG-->D&RGW would have updated it by then?

BTW, if your "Kokomo" issue of the CNGQ doesn't show up, I do have a copy in my files, along with the beautiful 1/4" scale drawings of the little depot by Chris Lane.  Let me know and I will make you  a copy.
