New Tender

Work has begun on the new 8'6" wide Hawksworth tender tank. As those of you with a passing interest in the musical tender world of the Great Western Railway will know, few Hawkswroth tenders made it to preservation. Those that did are of course the narrower 8'0" wide tenders which were built for later Castles and Modified Halls, whereas the 8'6" tenders were solely used for the Hawksworth County. For full details of preserved tenders, have a look on the excellent GWR modelling page, here.
