bobthesod4479 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I think i may have 'drained the pond' with all the photos i can get hold of , even going to the B12 at NNR, which is not 100% a B17 tender What i am after is a picture of the front end of the tender showing the positioning of the Handbrake and Water scoops. I have tried the NRM but no success, although that was a few years ago and there might well be additional photos come to light. Also the NB museum in Glasgow is a bit sparce in that respect, when i enquired, But as they appear to hold most of the NB details i feel sure there must be one somewhere Anybody out there might be able to point me in the direction of my Holy Grail?

Classsix T Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hi Bob. There are two organisations that hope to build replica B17s, for a small donation either might be able to help? C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
45568 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I know it may be making a 'model of a model', but are the positions on the Hornby B17 tender known to be wrong? Cheers from Oz, Peter C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both are getting LNER Group Standard 4200 gallon tenders that survived as departmental stock. One definitely is. http://www.ten.rhrp.org.uk/tens/TenderInfo.asp?Ref=245 Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classsix T Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I suspected that after I posted Jason, sorry Bob. He mentioned the B12, might the M&GN Society have the GA drawings with the difference marked? C6T. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthesod4479 Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 Thanks for the input. I do have GA of the first batch of tenders ( GE style) for 2800-09 and that is where the anomaly arises It shows the water coop gear on the LH side behind the driver (locos being LH drive) and using a handwheel. IIRC the B12 tender has the handbrake in that position with a 'bent' handle Having said that the LNER Pacifics have the scoop gear on the LH side with a bent handle The B17 lot only have a GE Chassis. Will have another go at the Scottish source. something may have surfaced since i last asked Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Is the variant you want not on an Isinglass drawing ? : http://www.isinglass-models.co.uk/Isinglass_Catalogue_March_2018.pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
