help ..Gresley Hide sided tender heating hose connections

Post by greenglade »

Hi guys

Yep me again.. still working on details for 4472, I've tried to search for close up photo's of the heating hose arrangements on the back of 4472's tender ( 1930's) and thinking ahead the loco buffer beam too. I have no idea what these connect to, I have found a pretty good photo from the NRM Doncaster collection but need something closer and as I say I need to know what the hose connects to under the tender/loco, in fact a diagram of it's plumbing along the chassis would be brilliant. I have all the info needed for the vacuum hoses and their layout, in fact I've very nearly finished that part of the model, a fully working vacuum brake system just as Gresley designed it is only a day or two away..well for the tender that is, the loco is still a good few years away yet..:)

Thanks in advance

Pete
