Notes Originally fitted with a Urie 5000 gallon tank. Tank replaced with a Maunsell design incorporating some platework from original tank. 887 is the number used to describe this tender in Maunsell Locomotive Society newsletters during the time it was under restoration. The number 887 was used for this tender when it was coupled to King Arthur class number 770 in the 1920's. When transferred to S15 30828 in 1929 the tender was renumbered 3225 and it retained this number for the rest of its working life.
