Because it never had a Corridor Tender until 1958.

Cheer`s lads I thought Mallard was born with corridor tender.
Why is Hornby Mallard in LNER blue always modelled without corridor tender and the
Hornby Mallard in British Railways green is modelled with corridor tender. I thought
it should have been modelled with corridor tender always as it ran in the LNER days.
From what i havw seen from Youtube clips these A4s look great not sure about smoke though,
What type of motor have Daplo fitted in these A4s 3 or 5 screw with the boddy being dicast metal.
