Notes New build tank constructed in late 1980's or early 1990's at Swindon Works. Originally intended to be fitted to Maunsell Eastleigh 3 axle chassis no. 739 that had previously been used as snowplough ADS70224 and was intended to run with SR U class 2-6-0 no. 31625. Though placed on the chassis work was never completed and 31625 ran with another tender. Stored for many years in this condition on the Mid Hants Railway the tank and chassis were transferred to the Swanage Railway in 2014. In 2017 Maunsell Eastleigh 3 axle chassis no. 739 that the tank had been on was fitted with a Maunsell 3500 gallon tank and is listed in the Tender Register as 739 Maunsell 3500 gallon hybrid. At present this 4000 gallon tank is stored at Norden on the Swanage Railway.
