Pennsylvania Railroad, 4-4-2, Class E6s "Atlantic" type is in the
Pennsylvania RR Museum in Strasburg PA:
http://www.rrmuseumpa.org/milepost/lindy/taletwomemos.htm
I believe it is fitted with a water scoop as it stands in the museum. There
are several photographs of the track pan in use including shots of the over
flow pouring over the sides of the tender.
Larry, if you are planning work in Harrisburg, you will need to spend at
least a day there.
