I have got to see the tender of one of these former KCS Articulated Steam Locomotives which was back in October 2023 while in the car before and after starting and finishing each days at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, Illinois.
Thanks for your very interesting and informative video presentation about these locomotives. I stumbled upon your channel and subscribed to your channel.
It is sad that none of the KCS Mallets have survived. Be looking forward to seeing the video on the GB&W Mikados. One of my favorite short line railroads in the US.
Those tender trucks are pretty unique. Never seen a design like that before. Very similar to the Barber S2 design seen on many freight cars, yet so different...

Well done, very handsome locomotive. What is that on the tender in some pictures, A structure just aft of the fuel bunker.
I lived in Grandview Mo for three years when I was a young boy. Why were the two engines double headed ?
it was to commemorate the opening of the line to that town I believe
@2:58 RIP Headphone users
So no explanation of the two larger tender designs applied to some of them? Enquiring minds want to know?
I wish I had an answer for you. information is very hard to find on these locomotives
