    You don’t need a high capacity tender on a 5mile railway, but there are ambitions for Wadebridge to run on the mainline so a larger tender than the one it has had for some time would be useful I imagine. It’s not a question of anyone losing out.

    What are you on about?
    34070 has a 4,500 gallon tender.
    The only Bulleid tender smaller than that is the Q1 version.

    I was under the impression it was 257 Squadron which would receive the new tender, not Manston.

    SLL receive a brand new tender for their engine running on heritage railways which does not need a high water capacity, and Mid Hants/Wadebridge Loco Group receive a tender with a high water capacity which they need for the mainline. Sounds like a good deal to me?

    Proving I do not check my images too well, I only noticed at the weekend when I took this from a departing service "the skull" was sitting on the coal dock.
    Driver experience today, and it seems we had a gricing Navy crew (in what I think is a Merlin not being too up on modern navy choppers) have a a quick fly by to get a look at the T3 DSC_0412r.JPG DSC_0481_1r.JPG DSC_0482r.JPG
