[modeleng] Re: LMS 3,500 gallon tender

According to The Stanier 4-6-0s of the LMS by Rowledge and Reed, David & 
Charles Locomotive Studies 1977 ISBN0 7153 7385 4 at page 28 "Up to 1933 all 
Fowler-type LMSR tenders had countersunk rivet heads in the tank and bunker, 
but Stanier favoured snap-head rivets and these were applied to those 
Fowler-type tenders (a) and (b) built new for the Jubilees." The same page of 
the book has a rear view of smooth Fowler tender with the only rivets being 
those holding on the steam heat pipe and the water capacity plate and also a 
line of small rivets at the very top of the coal space. 

Looks like he has just saved himself a load of work by going for the 1927 
version.

Do you want a scan of the page?
