When in use on the Welsh Highland the tender design will be modified and your wish will come true.

Accucraft intended producing a WHR version, but the WHR didn't finalise their design until too late. i.e. after Accucraft's production slot.

I like the WHR version of the tender Neil, looks very practical for running tender first on a 'soft' day. Also should look quite attractive when finished.

Happy steamings,

I intend to make an etched kit for the new tender, I need one for my NG15 coal fired conversion, so I will make it available, no price yet, maybe early next year.

That looks better Neil
The accucraft tender looks as if it was built for a train on the front line in world war one .

Having seen the new tender in the flesh, I've got to say its not the most pretty of things, in fact its bloody huge!!!

The original is much nicer looking but visibility is a problem!
