N Non corridor tender

Anyone know of a source of non corridor tenders that'll suit a Farish A4?

I have A3 Knight of [THE] Thistle, and the A4 tender suits it, but the non corridor isn't streamlined, so sits lower, I'll take a photo tomorrow to show this, it looks odd really

I've been wondering about this too. I was going to convert a corridor tender but if anyone knows of a better source I'd been interested too!

I did try and convert, now if I knew how to patch it back up!

Hi Mark,

Looking at that corridor tender you could just put a piece of plastic card at the back and file the top to shape.

Hmmmm...can I fill in trouble free??

I took Merlin (60027) and used IMS to remove the numbers.
The front on smudged the black but isn't noticeable, on the drivers side it did smudge badly, and I scraped the other side, and the merlin crests, and waring flashes, but these left gaps in the paint work. As for the nameplates, the left one came off beutifully, the right.....took about ten minutes and came off in a thousand peices, taking most of the paint with it.
So today I got some BR Green, and all was fine again...till I put the new numbers on. I chose to go for pioneer 60014, all nicly numbered, I went for plates and glue.....looked at the plates I have,
60029 Woodcock
60028 Walter K Whigham
and 60015 QUICKSILVER, so I need Silver Link plates now!

D'oh!

Mark,

Graham Farish has a spares department - they might be able to sell you a replacement corridor tender if they've got any in stock. If you interested, I might be able to do something with that Scotsman tender for you...
