TERRIER TO RECEIVE ISLE OF WIGHT EXTENDED BUNKER

Here's my early progress on this conversion.



Due to the long life of the Terriers and numerous alterations over time, Hornby's (ex-Dapol) Terrier requires modification to represent the modeller's preferred example in details and era.

The first tranche of Rails/Dapol's proposed locos includes several in A1 and A1X condition, but none that carried the extended Isle of Wight bunkers.

Without hacking Hornby's front combined sandbox/splashers, the only possibilities for those modelling the late BR era Terriers are 32640, 32646 and 32670.

32670 had a short bunker, without toolbox, but the top edges were taller than the side tanks.
32640/6 both had the Isle of Wight extended bunkers, however 32640's bunker had no coal rails, whilst 32646's bunker had them.

My preferred choice will be 32646 because 32640 carried a cast-iron chimney which differed from the original Stroudley's version, fitted whilst serving on the Isle of Wight Central Railway
