Notes | Originally built for use with LNWR Small Bloomer 2-2-2 no. 603. Much later original tank removed, cylindrical tank fitted and used to store oil. At some stage the centre wheelset was also removed. Finally used for diesel storage at Northwich Depot. Moved to Tyseley in September 1986. In the late 1980's restored with new rear frame extensions, front and rear drag boxes and a new tank. The tender is virtually completed but completion of replica LNWR Smaller Bloomer no. 670 has been stalled for many years. |
