Can I ask for a bit of help please about certain LNER Tenders ie as attached to locos & not tenders for buying items.
I am specifically interested in tenders attached to the following classes of locos D11/2, D29, D30 & D49.
Answers on a postcard please stating for each class 1/ Diameter of wheels. 2/ Number of spokes.
For the latter I`m swithering between 10 or 12 spokes but tender wheels are never very well clear on all the photos I`ve looked at.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Alan

Re: Tenders
Ay up!
The answer to all of these is it depends which tender was attached at the time. They all had various different tenders at different times - the D49s for example had stepped GS tenders, flush GS tenders, NER tenders and GC tenders coupled to them. In fact the survivor, Morayshire, still has a GC tender.
You will need photos of the locos you intend to model and then to identify the type of tender before consulting drawings and the like.
Hope this helps.

Re: Tenders
Hello
While the D-49's indeed ran with many different types of tenders, those coupled to the other three classes throughout their service life is less complicated. The D-11/2 had the standard Robinson GCR 4000 gal tender, with 4'3" wheels with 12 spokes. The D-29's and D-30's always ran with essentially the same Reid NBR tender, with 4'0", 12 spoke wheels. Hope this helps.
Forward!
