Okay, I have a question about what tenders went with what locomotives on the B&A... I guess that this question is also generic, but is a locomotive "married" to a certain tender, or will the tenders be switched around at random? Ultimately, I want to know if the six axle tender seen behind this Berk would have been a usual site on the B&A:

Of all of the photos of B&A Berks on SteamLocomotive.com, this is the only one I see with this specific type of tender... The vast majority of the Berks have a four axle tender like this:

On the other hand, it seems like that first six axle tender is more often found with B&A Hudsons, like this one:

But, a couple of the photos show the Hudsons with the smaller four axle tender that most Berks are seen with:

So, which of the above is the proper tender for the Berk and then for the Hudson? If the six axle tender was indeed a Hudson style tender, then why was it being used on a Berkshire?
