could be Ron...I wasn't sure as to me the GNR is very close in size to the later 8 wheeled tenders...the word small through me... in which case the answer is yes...tender no. 5223 was with 4472 (1472) from new until 14/2/28 when it was replaced some weeks later by the corridor tender no. 5323 for the non-stop KX-Waverly run. There was the gap I mentioned when the K3 6 wheeled tender no.5378 was used for the Wembley exhibition 19/4/25-16/11/25.
Not sure if I am referring to the GNR tender, it does have 8 wheels but is not as high as the corridor tender, and has coal rails? I would assume that if Scotsman did run with the "smaller" tender it would have been in the early days as I have not seen any pictures.
I said 'Yes' because the question was 'Would it be right to assume Flying Scotsman would have had the same tender from "New"'
The Flying Scotsman entered service with a GN 8 wheeled tender, the GS tender was I believe, was only used at the Wembley exhibition and not in service.
in which case the answer is yes...tender no. 5223 was with 4472 (1472) from new until 14/2/28 when it was replaced some weeks later by the corridor tender no. 5323 for the non-stop KX-Waverly run.
