Huzzah! That saves me a lot of expense. Thanks Mick for confirming.

I have just realized I have in fact got two of these! One early crest, one late crest. Mix and match!

Dont forget you need a curved edge A3 Cab to match if you do a A2/2 Earl M

I'm thinking A2/2 60506 in BR dark green currently, though this picture of 60501 has piqued my interest - is this an A3 tender it is coupled to?

[mick b]

Yes its the one used by the A3 as well as the A2/2 as confirmed earlier

All of the A2/2's retained their tenders albeit of two different types Beaded and Streamlined Non Corridor designs till scrapping.

Ypu must get the RCTS volume its a mine of info

OH, I see now

The difference is literally the beading. Good to know, both of mine are beaded...!

[mick b]

No its not

Beaded have curved side sheets

Streamlined no beading and straight side sheets

[S.A.C. Martin]

No its not

Beaded have curved side sheets

Streamlined no beading and straight side sheets

Okay Mick, point taken!

Wasn't 2001/60501's tender of all-welded rather than riveted construction?

[mick b]

Yes no obvious difference
