A further clue sits in the decoder fitting section of the instruction leaflet with sections for locos with and without pony truck. 3 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they ever run as 2-4-0’s without the tender? 😉 That’s quite likely Linda as there’s no tender cab. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Paul, No it doesn't have a tender. In 1996 when it was first run for a vintage weekend it ran with fuel tank hidden in coal wagon, however for this run, a small fuel tank was hidden on the footplate so it could (and did) run without a tender.

Bruce Bruce, thanks for the info I didn’t know they’d done runs with the loco tank only but as it was separate I accepted Paul’s video anyway. Problem is I prefer them in original condition so you two just gave me an excuse for another 😇 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium nightstar.train Posted November 4, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 4, 2022 Well that looks like the cat well out the bag! The fact it's printed in detail on the instructions suggests to me that the as preserved ladies with tenders will be along within the next year. They wouldn't bother printing those instructions if the later variants aren't confirmed, at least to my mind. Better start saving! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamingWales Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Those instructions look very promising for a run of Linda and Blanche in FR guise. I haven't been tempted into OO9 yet. The current offering in RTR hasn't really appealed to me so far but if we get the FR ladies I will definitely have a dabble. Will certainly look nice with a couple of the Peco Bowsiders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium cornelius Posted November 4, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 4, 2022 Assuming the 2-4-0 versions are released in due course, will this be the first time a RTR loco has been available in two different wheel configurations?

Not if you count the Bachmann US On30 porter as that was available in 0.4.0 and 0.4.2 versions. Oh and their C&S mogul later offered as an abominable 0.6.0 industrial version!

Butler Henderson Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Suspect the reason the Penryn ones have com first is the extra tooling needed with at least two tenders - the 1965 tender cab for Blanche and the 1964 widening of Welsh Ponys tender for Linda (Welsh Pony today uses a replica tender). Originally Linda and then Blanche used Palmerstons tender which if Bachmann do not make could be sourced from Kato/Peco. An added option exists for them with the tenders as 0-4-0s as well as 2-4-0s; Linda becoming a 2-4-0STT in 1970 and Blanche in 1972.
