73096 BR Std 5 4-6-0 as 73052 Minehead 10.3.1996

            Normally based on the Mid Hants Railway 73096 visited the West Somerset Railway in March 1996 for a Somerset & Dorset themed gala and carried the number 73052 for the event.

The tender is a hybrid design. The tank is based on the BR Standard BR1G 5000 gallon design but has been shortened by about 12 inches to fit on a LMS Stanier 13 foot wheelbase chassis. This chassis was originally fitted with a Stanier 3500 gallon tank and carried the number 4625. The tender in its final years was coupled to Jubilee class locos numbers 45593 and then 45562. After withdrawal with 45562 it was sold to Clun Castle Ltd at Tyseley and stored there for several years.

Eventually sold to John Bunch, owner of 73096, the original tank was removed and sold to Roger Hibbert owner of LMS 48305 who placed it on another chassis. The new BR1G tank was manufactured by Plenty Ltd of Newbury and the tender carries the number 1562. 

All BR standard tenders had roller bearing axleboxes. This chassis retains oil axleboxes but new covers have been fitted to give the appearance of roller bearing fitted boxes.
