Johnson 3250 gallon tender, a BR, LMS and Midland Railway tender.
History
These tenders were built in large numbers for MR engines. Variations included water pickup apparatus and alternative coal rails.
Kit Details
This is a selection of parts for an Johnson 3250 gallon tender body. Not all parts needed to make a tender body are on the fret, some parts will need to be scratchbuilt. No chassis parts are included e.g. wheels, paint and transfers. The 2mm Association produces many parts which are suitable.
This etch has been reduced from a 4mm etch. At stages during assembly the builder will need to use their own solutions. The 2mm Association has publications and articles in their magazine which may be of help. The links below go to a pdf copy of the diagrams included with the 4mm etch and to a picture of the fret with the parts identified.
Scale
These etches are slightly large for N. The tender footplate is 1ft too long and 3in too wide.
