This was removed around 1989/1990 and sold for use on the chassis of Bulleid tender no. 3119 (at present the tank has been removed from the frames of 3119 as it is due to be replaced, see the record for tender 3119 for more details) A new tank for chassis 3130 built by Plenty Ltd of Newbury matching the outline of the Bulleid 5500 gallon tank was fitted in the early 1990's. This style of tank was never fitted to this chassis type in SR/BR days.The exact water capacity of this tank is not known. The tank has cut down raves. |
