[modeleng] Re: LNER Y4

Alan,

I'm not sure if you gat a reply to this question.
The only Y4 I've seen (in 5") had dummy coal on top of the tanks. From 
memory I think there were some coal rails to hold it in place. I see what 
you mean about 6 1/4 cwt being a lot, when I think about the 1cwt bags of 
coal which used to be delivered when I was a lad.


Cheers,

JohnP

Does anyone have any information on the LNER Y4, 0-4-0T?
Specifically, where was the coal stored?

I know that often it was on top of the tanks, or on the footplate, but
according to:
http://www.gcrailway.co.uk/locos/e68088.htm

they carried 6.25 cwt, whish seems a lot for those places.
