Notes This tender had a GER large capacity tank before it was removed. These tanks were generally 3700 gallon though a small number were 3670 gallon. It is not actually known at present which tank this tender had. It had latterly been in use as a sludge tank numbered ADE330622. Originally purchased from Doncaster for possible use with 61572 LNER B12 4-6-0 and delivered to the North Norfolk Railway in December 1981. By circa 2008 it was at Sail and Steam, Brightlingsea. The tank had been detached from the chassis by this date and was later scrapped. Chassis purchased in 2012 by the B17 Steam Locomotive Trust for use with new build LNER B17 class 4-6-0 no 61673. However now considered to have too small a water capacity so no immediate plans for restoration.
