Jeff,
Do you happen to have any 5000gal drawings?

AFAIK, CP only rated a tender by water capacity and the number of wheels. I
have a couple of tender and paint drawings. I've never seen any
classification on them.
Tenders were commonly move around if higher capacity was needed. D4g's
commonly received the 5000 gal tenders originally used on the G1 and G2's
instead of the original 4000gal units. Coal fired R3's in transfer service
received G2 tenders.
G1 and G2's received 7000 gal tenders that originally were delivered with
G3's and G4's. In the 1950's those 7000 gal tenders found their way onto
D10's and N2's.
Probably the most note worthy instance of tender movement was Royal Hudson
2822's tender being mated with 2816. That instance is seen today.
It appears to me that this could be the making of an article for CP Tracks.
