Notes | When this locomotive was originally reimported from Sweden in 1973 it came with a cut down WD 5000 gallon tender that had been shortened to 3 axles. Around 1990 an original WD 4 axle chassis was reimported from a Dutch steel works and a new tank was constructed. This work carried out at BSC Scunthorpe c1990. Some fittings on the present tender come from the original 3 axle tender. It is presumed the original tender was disposed of for scrap afterwards. |
