Hi,
Thanks for the references, but the parts on the 22232 Vanderbilt tender are compleely different from any of the 2023X series.

Hello,That's the one I have one of the wooden boards on my tender is missing
Hello,I went to those links and found parts for the Vanderbilt tender, I found the coal box on the 4th page.. and of course the 2 models with Vanderbilt tenders are listed at the top of every page.
That's all that I found I could identify as Vanderbilt specific.

Very nice video. How is the locomotive powered? (Rail, Battery?)I really like mine one of my favourite locos here it is in action in the snow.

It runs very nicely. Does the moisture and snow cause any problem with the rail pickup?Rail powered
The little 2-4-0's are LGB's best kept secret. I've had a #1218 for more than 20 years and just recently picked up a Southern version #281 with sound. I added aftermarket sound to the # 1218 version and I like both of them. They pull well and if weight is added, will pull up to ten cars. They are rather scarce these days. The ones prior to 1989 were built in West Germany, but nowadays they are built in China. They seem to have the same build quality.

I'm sure that they have been around since at least 1988. My first one is a Rio Grande 1218. I still have it. It's marked "Made in Western Germany 1988". The other two, the 21232 Southern and the 22232 were made in China with the date 2000. They are a nice little locomotive and quite reliable,Holy moly, have they been around that long ?!?!?
Hm interesting, I never got into this because I did not want to creat controversy quoting LOK that shows 21232 production as 2003-2005. 1218 (cat 20232) as the same. There are updates to LOK so this may have been addressed.I'm sure that they have been around since at least 1988. My first one is a Rio Grande 1218. I still have it.

Just checked mine both say on the Baseplate LGB 20231.2 Made by EP Lehman Made in China 2000.Depends a little where the 'Made in West Germany 1988' is..
i have later models, where there is no circular label to get a date from.. People assume the moulded-in date (on the motor-block bottom plate) is the date of manufacture, when it probably was when the 'blocks were first made, and still the same moulds used, years later.
One probably cannot be sure about the location of manufacture on the ones with "Made in Western Germany". One thing is certain, however. If it says "Made in China", that's pretty much it. LOL.Depends a little where the 'Made in West Germany 1988' is..
