NER Tenders and B2 Locos
Posted: Sat Nov 23, 2019 4:39 pm
Hi,
I'm building an ex-NER tender as attached to some of the B2 rebuilds of B17 locos. A couple of the locos retained Westinghouse brakes and the attached tenders featured a large air reservoir fitted below the buffer beam. I'm struggling for photos of the installation and wonder whether anyone can point me at suitable photos please? I've got Yeadon and there's a photo showing the tank but it's not from a good angle. I'm trying to work out how much space there was between the reservoir and the buffer beam so I can fit vacuum/Westinghouse/Steam heating pipes appropriately.
I'd be most grateful for any help here!
