    Just had some U Tube reviewer of new products groupy tell me that a USA 0.6.0. is a Pannier Tank as it looks like a BR WR 15XX. Grief!

      How are the tanks supported on a S100?

       

      That's the clue...

       

      You can see the strapping on the front view of the drawings.

      You can see the strap from above.

      There's a whole thread about what is a Pannier Tank in the GWR section. I'm afraid the USA Tanks count as one.

       

       

      The GWR only built the 15XX as the S100s they tried to buy from Newbury were poor quality. The SR bought the last of the good ones.

      That's very interesting, Jason, but as a GW follower, somewhat difficult to accept on an emotional level!
