mswjr Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Hi All, I have been asked By my friends widow to finish off his o gauge model LNER P2 , It is stunning, Thankfully only the tender needs building, I have no idea about anything LNER, I need some info l please, What tender did they have when built 1934ish, Was it a streamlined non corridor type or a 4200 gallon standard type, all i know is it has 8 wheels, Also can anyone recommend any books or drawings of the loco, Thankyou Much Appreciated.

micklner Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 RCTS Part 2A for technical details , Yeadon Vol 9 for more photos, I it is presume Cock O' The North ? She pulled a 8 wheel Corridor tender, as did the other early build Earl Marischal. https://www.cockothenorth.co.uk/gallery/photos/ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mswjr Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 Thankyou much Appreciated, Do you know if the Tender was the same as fitted to the A4s , As Finney 7 do a Tender kit for that, Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 As pulled by the A1/A3 without streamlining the pre A4 versions, but there is a very slight height difference , it appears to be a slightly unique version. No idea, if the Finney kit covers the variation. RCTS covers the height differences . Hornby actually modelled a new body for their P2 Tender when it was released. A web search will show photos. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the photos or drawings I can find show Cock O' the North with a corridor tender. Nor would one seem necessary for the Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen service.

micklner Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 No one has said Corridor version, the Tenders are non corridor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slilley Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 All the P2s had non corridor tenders which they kept with modifications when rebuilt as A2/2s. Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

doilum Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 For those interested: try a google search " a tangle of tenders". Sadly, doesn't give too many details about the P2 tenders. In particular, were they built "narrow" to the same drawings of the A3, or built "full width", in the style of the A4. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to RCTS Part 2A. 2001 New Type Welded. 2002 New Type Riveted 2003-2006 Streamlined. All were non-corridor. 2001 and 2002 had 8 ton capacity, 2003-2006 9 ton capacity.

doilum Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Some Google image searching seems to have answered my own question. The P2 tenders have a clear ledge at the base of the sides. The A1/3 tender would appear to be the starting point. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember though there are two different designs at least and within that 2001 and 2002 had tenders of different construction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
