    At the end of last year the South Devon's GWR 2251 0-6-0 no. 3205 went to the Battlefield Line. Normally it runs with Collett 3000 gallon tender 3002 but I think at the Battlefield line it used Collett 3000 gallon tender 3029 normally coupled to 2-8-0 no. 3803. Is this correct and did it revert to tender 3002 when it returned to the South Devon Rly in 2016 or has it kept 3029?

    It is cheaper to just hire the loco, so if you have a usable, compatable tender doing nothing, then it makes economic sense to use it for the visiting loco.
