Stirling Tender

Post by manna »

G'Day Gents

Could anybody help, I'm building a model of a J1, 3012, to be exact, which towed a Stirling tender in the 1930's has anyone a picture of the front of one of these tenders please.

Thanks, manna

Good morning all

Which Stirling tender, Manna?

I have seen a pic of a J1 with and old Stirling sandwich frame tender with inside bearings.

Most of the J1's ran with Ivatt type A tenders.

if you show me the photo the loco you want to model, ie is it in Yeadon, then I may well be able to provide the detail, even if only in a drawing.

The picture I'm working off is in the RCTS, 'Green Bible, fig 3, Stirling 'D' type.

Thank you, manna

HI mate, are you scratchbuilding,or is it a kit, ie the London Road one?

Actually, one big problem we found compiling Malcolm's book was finding photos for the fronts of any tenders, bad enough finding rear views :roll:

None of the works drawings actually show the tool boxes, seems they were not always in the same place on each loco.

However, if you pm me, I will send you a couple of front end drawings of Stirling tenders that are similar, not the same,since we still do not have access to R19/21.
