    Hi All

    I have added a new collection of Fowler 7F 0-8-0 locomotives,

    There is also a new photo of Claughton 4-6-0 5964 Patriot.
    I have looked at a number of photos of this loco, (look at that nameplate), but i have not seen one with the tanks on top of the tender, can anyone inform me what they were for please?
