MR/LMS/BR 2950 gallon Tender

HISTORY
Johnson's 2950 gallon tender was one of a series of designs having a strong family resemblance. They were fitted to many of the Midland Railway's smaller tender locomotives.

Details of this and other types of Johnson MR tenders can be obtained from an article by K C Woodhead in the December '75 issue of Model Railways and also in volume 1 of An Illustrated Review of Midland Locomotives by RJ Essery & D Jenkinson.

THE KIT
The kit has an etched brass body and an etched nickel silver chassis. Castings are whitemetal except for the vacuum pipe which is cast brass and the axleboxes which are plastic. Bearings are supplied to make a rigid chassis although the chassis can be easily compensated using proprietary hornblocks, we suggest the use of our own, see the Accessories section of this website for further details. Wheels need to be purchased separately, we can supply Slaters finescale wheels.
