Description
This body pack is intended for use with our tender frame kit TF1 (shown in the photo, but not included), but can also be used for scratchbuilding or to improve an RTR tender.
The riveted version of the Stanier 4000 gallon/9 tons coal tender was allocated to some Black 5s, many Jubilees, all Royal Scots and roughly half the 8F 2-8-0s.
The tender underframe had standard axleboxes, but note that the water sieve boxes supplied in pack TF1 were not fitted, at least in any photographs that we have seen. Please note that pictures showing sieves fitted to the tenders of Black 5s will, on closer inspection, be found to be the later part welded version, item TB3.
The side top and front curves are preformed.
A listing showing the types of tender first allocated to all the Stanier/Ivatt Black 5 locomotives is available here.
