Quarryscapes Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 I have no photographic evidence to suggest that a 22xx was ever fitted to a 2500 g tender. Similarly, I have no photographic evidence to show that the 22xx + 4000 g ex RoD tender combination ever found it's way onto ex Cambrian metals. 2500g tender may have been fitted, hard to tell from the photos I have though. ROD tenders did make it to the Cambrian section, I have a photo of 3206 in GW livery in 1948 at Machynlleth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Prism Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Beware of 3000g 'Dean' tenders running with 2251s, particularly in their later years. Most of them had replacement Churchward or Collett underframes. Some of these had vacuum tanks, which was very rare for a 3000g. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 At which I give a sigh of relief given Bachmann had them as out of stock rather than pending stock just a couple of weeks back. Mine is coming from Rails when they get theirs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Welchester Posted March 17, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 17, 2018 Does the model really have the shiny coupling rod shown in the Hattons photograph (post 29)? It seems a retrograde step. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Yes, probably looks worse in photos though 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold sjrixon Posted March 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 22, 2018 The whole loco is quite shinny! Looks very shiny when you sit it next the the Oxford Dean Goods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
