Notes | Chassis is from an Ivatt 3000 gallon tender. This arrived at Woodham Bros, Barry behind LMS Ivatt 2MT number 46428. The last tender shown as allocated to this loco by BR records is 7028. After purchase for use with 78018 the Ivatt tank was removed and a new tank, built to the BR3 pattern, was fitted c1992. The Ivatt tenders had plain axle bearings while the BR3 was fitted with roller bearings. This tender retains plain bearings though the axlebox covers have been changed to give the appearance of roller bearing axleboxes. |
