    The GWR placed simulated carridge bodies over a handful of 517, 850 and 2021 tanks, however I can't find any pictures of them (I think the book I had with pics of these in may be on loan to my dad) however, in order to prove to some of my mates that Olly isn't cracking up, could anyone on here supply a picture of one?
    Many thanks,
    Olly

    Russel's Pictorial record of GWR Engines has some. Vol 2 p 97. Try a library if all else fails. I hadn't heard of an 850: in my books 4 are listed, 2021 class 2120 & 2140 and 517s 533 and 833.
