I am currently in the process of converting a atsf 4-8-4 northern into a western maryland 4-8-4 potomac. Can anyone tell me which size and style tender i need and where i can get one?

Do a search for "fallen flags" railroad photos. There is one photo of a 4-8-4 with tender. There is also the Western Maryland Historical society website.

You have your work cut out for you trying to do this conversion. Good luck.

That tender is huge http://www.northeast.railfan.net/images/wm1403s.jpg and kit bashing is the only way I know. I have not seen something like this for sale anywhere.
