I've got two questions about the My Own Train locomotive:

(1) Why do the 'large engine' instructions give two different designs, one
for if you have the tender and one for if you don't?  I think the 'without
tender' design looks better, but does it somehow get in the way of being
able to attach the tender to the engine?

In lugnet.trains, Kevin Wilson writes:
The "without tender" MOT engines have a coal bunker built onto the back,
which would be superfluous on an engine with a tender, and also make it
impossible to reach out the back of the engine cab to the tender and get the
coal.

You also end up using some of the coloured bricks around the bunker area,
which would otherwise be required for the tender.  They don't actually give
you enough bricks to build the stand-alone engine and the tender at the same
time.
