Hi Clive , It looks to me as if modifying your N.E.R. tender might be as much a faf as hacking about a group standard tender , especially after seeing your cut &shut coaches & diesels . I think you would have to modify the chassis though , as the difference is quite noticeable . Perhaps Comet could supply you with a 6' 3" + 6' 3" simple chassis , worth checking anyway . Whatever you do , I look forward to seeing it on here . Cheers , Ray . P.S. the tenders were to extend the range of the locos , replacing the small G.E.R. tenders , & of course , cost nothing as they were spare anyway . This was common practise on the cash strapped L.N.E.R. ! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrapman Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Clive, The original plan for the B2 tenders was to use the G.S. tenders from the V2 based A2s. They got used for some new build locos instead. You could invoke modellers licence (or indeed rule 1) and say that they used the V2 tenders as planed. Or the tender was swapped with one from a withdrawn B17.
