    Pretty sure that's an ex ROD tender last used minus centre wheel set for departmental use. I think I heard it was bought by 3205s owner with a view to restoring it to run with the 2251. A fair number of 2251s did run with ROD tenders back in the day, although I'd hesitate to describe it as an aesthetically delightful combination.

    Although it would provide some extra weather protection when running in reverse!
