Old Tenders (T&F)

There are six old tenders found on the North Western Railway. They are described as being very old, dirty and filled with boiler sludge.

Duck once used these tenders to play a trick on Henry, when the latter started complaining about wanting another tender.

The tenders were seen being shunted by Diesel on the other railway.

Two tenders were once seen on a flatbed being pulled by Harvey.

Two of the tenders somehow ended up at Great Waterton with one sitting in the station when Thomas discovered the town.

Basis
The old tenders are all based on the LNER Gresley/Thompson 4200-gallon type.

Livery
The old tenders appear to be painted NE wartime black and LMS black, however given their age they appear faded and rusty.

Trivia

 * Sludge tenders were a genuine practice on the railways, particularly when the diesel era started and more LNER locomotives were scrapped leaving their tenders available for different usage.
 * Most of the tenders have "NE" on the sides, indicating that they have not had their livery changed after use during the Second World War.
 * Since the tenders appeared all together in "Escape" after "Tender Engines", it can be assumed that they were sent for scrap after the events of the latter episode.
 * One of the old tenders was used for the Halloween Engine's tender.
 * It also gained a tail lamp.
