4MT Double Chimney and 4-6-0 75xxx

[Fredo]

Anyone know where I can look up which 4MT’s (75xxx) received Double Chimneys with BR. Thanks Fred

I think it was mainly the Southern Based ones certainly from 75069 onwards got them. Have you tried the RCTS book of the BR Standards (cant remember which volume) as their information is very comprehensive?)

I think I am right that the WR ones had a different design of chimney to the Southern ones. The Western Region double chimney was taller?

Was that just the experimental one on 29?

75029 certainly had a taller chimney, it was the first WR done. Cant work out if the rest on the WR followed the SR pattern.
