    45428 was in service this week, but with no cabsite number on one side and only the middle "4" on the other. Looks like she was hurriedly removed from the paint shop.

    One question - why are the tender wheels different? The front and rear wheels are spoked, but the centre wheel has a solid centre with holes near the edge (similar to Class 40? diesel).

    Just found the answer to my own question on the NYMR Unofficial forum - it's had the "odd" tender wheelset for years apparently.

    If you look at 45596 Bahamas it too has a mixture of disc and spoke wheelsets on its tender.
