| Additional Notes |
B12 class 61572 was purchased for preservation with tender 8571 and it still retains this tender. Restoration of locomotive and tender was first completed in 1995 and after restoration there was no tender number plate on the tender. A tender number plate was fixed to the rear of the tender in early 2014, this plate though carries the number 8572. The tender is one of a batch of 20 built by Beyer Peacock. Whereas all other tenders built for GER 4-6-0's had 3700 gallon tanks the official figure for those built by Beyer Peacock was 3670 gallons. Tank replaced during overhaul c1992-1994. Scoop has been removed though handwheel mechanism to raise and lower scoop remains on the footplate. The locomotive chassis is currently under overhaul at Riley & Sons, Heywood but the tender is at the North Norfolk Railway. |
