Edge Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hello there guys. I've recent come int ownership of a Hornby 'Bude' with a stanier tender as she was in the 1948 loco trials, and it jogged m memory. I see m to remember that a Duchess and a Jubilee ran on the southern with WD 2-8-0 tenders. I also seem to recall that there was an article in the last few years in one of the magazines about how to go about doing it. Can anyone recall what issue of what magazine it actually was? Any further comments on the actual event, the potential pitfalls of trying it etc would be gratefully received Ta, Edge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldgunner Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I've got a picture of a Duchess with the WD tender somewhere, but I always thought it was to keep the water/coal measurements equal for monitoring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted January 18, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hi Edge The article penned by myself was in the March 2010 issue of Hornby Magazine. The models can also be found on my blog here http://grahammuz.com/2011/09/26/talking-stock-2-the-1948-locomotive-exchange-trials/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Graham_Muz Posted January 19, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 19, 2013 Not really as each locomotive was prepared for the trails on their own region, rather than centrally, and also the various trails on different lines were on different dates spread between May and September 1948.

asmay2002 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Wouldn't it have been more logical for it to use Bude's tender (or wasn't this concurrent with Bude's stay on the LMR)? No. The Duchess tender had 10 tons of coal and 4000 Gals of water. The Austerity tender had 9 tons of coal and 5000 gallons of water. The normal tender behind Bude had 4500 gallons of water but only 5 tons of coal. (It got a Stanier 9 ton 4000 gallon tender during the trials). A MN 6000 gallon tender might have worked for the Duchess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffield Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Given the reputation of the WD tender for not always staying on the rails I wonder how they got on with it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
