    Anyone know what happened to it and the cab? As someone who is interested in Continental locos and mainly Swedish locos it would be nice to see it in the Swedish condition again one day although I doubt that would happen.

    Six wheeler was the orginal eight wheeler cut down to fit local turntables. No idea what happened to it though. I'm sure someone at KWVR will know.

    Wasn't it effectively re-used, or at least various significant bits?

    Only just noticed that it was a cut down WD tender it just looked a lot different. I thought it was a tender from another Swedish loco or one specially made for the WD's.

    IIRC the 'new' 8 wheel tender, chassis at least, was from original WD tender, turned up in Holland or somewhere so im guessing that the best useable parts of both went into the new tender, with a new tank on it, whats left over would be kept as spares or ( in the case of frames and tank) scrapped
