Thanks William.

Yes, especially with that extended smokebox, it really looks like a different breed of cat than the C-21's. And it really does hunker down with the brake rigging in place under the frame.

I'm considering rebuilding the tender, which in my case would widen it a scale 8" to 7' 9". Now that I've narrowed the 74-76's tenders to the proper 8' width, the 537 would probably look even chunkier. At the time I built this engine, I wasn't ready to take on a tender rebuild, and the Sunset #74's tenders are way too wide.
