Tender loan

THE Earlstoke Manor Fund’s 4000 gallon tender No. T2792 has been loaned to the West Somerset Railway to help keep No. 7828 Odney Manor in traffic. No. 7828’s regular tender requires repairs. Having run behind No. 7802 Bradley Manor for much of its time in preservation, No. T2792 will be familiar to readers. The tender has been stored at Bridgnorth since early 2018. Nos. 7802 and 7812 Earlstoke Manor are currently at Tyseley Locomotive Works.
