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.

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.
