Edward Thomas Fuel and Capacity?

[BigBoyFan4006]

Does anyone know how much fuel and water Talyllyn No. 4 Edward Thomas is able to hold, or where I could find that information? And yes, I've already looked on the Talyllyn website. Also, does anyone know what the heck the bunker on the drivers/right hand side is for?

Sand? Another water tank? (I know it's of topic, but it's been bugging me for weeks.)

I'd say that'll be extra water tanks like Well Tank Locos had tanks placed anywhere they'll fit to get a large water capacity, if I had to make a guess, it'll say about 6,000 liters of water, coal would be about 1-2 tons.

Cheers.

Original Tattoo specs here http://www.grotonengine.com/Pearl/kerrst.html Probably only a rough guide though as the Talyllyn and Corris loco's seem to have bigger saddle tanks to early Tattoo class drawings.

Sure that second bunker isn't also for coal? Best place to ask for accurate info is on the Narrow Gauge section of National Preservation http://www.national-preservation.com/forums/narrow-gauge-railways.27/ need to sign up first and there is a moderator post approval for new members.

I wouldn't think it would be used for coal, seeing as how there wouldn't be much of a way to get the coal to the fireman's side. Thanks for the links!
