Duke of Rothesay Tender

[mick b]

I find GS Tenders a real pain!!.

Does anyone which version the Duke ran with in the Six wheel tender days? I know it was a GS 4200 but which version?. The photos of the accident looks like there are no Toolboxes and a Access Gate to the Coal space ??? Has anyone got some decent photos please?.

Many thanks for any help.

It would appear that the Tender was as fitted to a batch of V2's without toolboxes and a centre gate. has anybody any pictures of that type please ?

Bump on this one , any info please as a build is just starting.

appears to be a rear coal plate dissecting water pick up dome and a plain? Coal door . No toolboxes ?

The tenders were for the four V2s that Thompson binned in place of the 4 A2/1s, so would be the high front type as built from 1937 but without the air brake cylinder. Type 3 on Isinglass drawing number 304, a drawing that might help clarify the differences...
