hayfield Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I brought this as a W&T GWR 3500 tender (did not look at the photo to clearly) off Ebay but when it arrived it looks like a LNER one. It came in a W&T box but I should have twigged that W&T were whitemetal kits, still no harm done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Thumper Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 It doesn't strike me as being LNER at the moment... I'll have a check with my LNER references... It may be a southern tender? or at a push a LMS tender, although LMS tender used to be a little higher and shorter too, so my bets are on LNER or Southern.

hayfield Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 The sides and water filler are a bit like the LNER, where as the axle boxes and underframe are more like LMS as is the aerial view. Looks like an Eames or Jamieson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium melmerby Posted September 2, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 2, 2010 Definitely LNER I think. The underframe, springs and cut outs match the tender on a picture I have of a K1 (62070), although the curve at the top of the side sheet at the cab end is not quite right. Maybe it's off a B17 or K3 or other Gresley? Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
34theletterbetweenB&D Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Pretty sure that is a model of the LNER standard 4,200 gallon flush sided type, used behind many examples of several Gresley designs: K3, O2, J39, D49, B17, V2. Wheelbase should scale to 7'3"+6'3", length over underframe 22'6"(you have to subtract a little for the absent bufferbeam and dragbox front), height above rail to top of side sheets 10'10".

47401 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Agree this is definately an LNER Group Standard tender; the underframe is right although I thought it may be back to front but it is right. The oblong cut-out should be at the front. The body is puzzling as it is not a normal Group Standard flush side shape. The cut out at the front of the side sheet is way too long (is that the GWR angle...??) Thought it might be a P1 tender which were distinctively different but it is not; also it is not a V4 which I thought might be different. I am sure I have seen something like it but cann't place it at present. Sorry cann't be much more help. Need access to Yeadon's Register (the one on tenders) but my copy is buried deep in the cupboard at present. Also don't really recognise parentage of model; intially thought it might have been Crownline but don't think so as the filler is brass. I think you might be right it could be a Jamieson or even Jidenco; don't have much experience of them. Richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Also used behind Thompson B1s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayfield Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Thanks for the replies, I looked this morning and it looked like the 4200 gal LNER tender as on 4-6-0s etc. The longer cut out (on the chassis) is on the front. I think its a Jamieson or Eames/Kings Cross so may not be 100% accurate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvian Tennant Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 LNER, can tell by the chassis as for the size... good question 3500g or 4200g. Hard luck mate... you could use modellers license and pretend it's a Hawksworth design though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
47401 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Had a chance this morning to check through all my libery. I can confirm that it is a LNER 4200 Gal Group Standard tender and is one of a few variants of style! Quick skim through photos suggest that this type was fitted to some J39, K3, K4, V2, B1 and D49. Could not find any photos of this style fitted to B17 (they all seem to have had the more common style with the small front cut out or the step sides). Looking through the photos the style of your model sems less common than the other type of flush sided tender. What have you decided to do with your tender in the end?

coachmann Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 LNER tender! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayfield Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Richard and Coachman, thanks for the replies. I sold it on Ebay as a Jamieson type LNER tender, as I rembered seeing at least 1 Jamieson tenderless loco being sold recently, so atleast 1 person is looking for one. Before I got too attached to it,I decided to get rid of it(I have too many items that have been put away as 'it might come in handy'). I am a great believer in the theory of listing spares and unwanted items on Ebay as I buy a lot from others, so I put it into practice. It sold for about what I brought it for, so I lost out on the postage I paid (and I underestimated the cost of sending it), still I have had a very good run lately and was due a misshap.
