What Southern Bullied Pacific's Tender Is At The Shed In Buckfastleigh

 

I understand it is the tender for 34007.

 

Do The West Country Pacifics Have The Same Style Of Tender As The Merchant Navy Pacifics

 

Bulleid tenders - now there's a task to explain!

The simplest answer is no, but try http://www.southern-locomotives.co.uk/Class_Details/Bulleid_Light_Pacific_Tenders.html for starters.

 

34007s tender body is sat on a flatwagon in the Alton headshunt along with the frames which are on a differnt flatwaggon, also at Alton

 

Doh! Quite right. I forgot about that even though I went past it a few times last weekend! But aren't the wheelsets for the tender at the SDR?

 

I still belive that they are at ropley, but I may be wrong, I havent seen them for a while

 

I'm lead to believe the wheels have gone to the South Devon Railway.
