Steam Locomotives Query

Post by Idris »

A question for our YY experts.
Both the Y13a 'Santa Fe' and the Y14a 'Duke of Connaught' have holes at the rear, presumably for the attachment of a tender.Presumably they were dropped quite late in the planning, otherwise the holes in the cab floors wouldn't have been included in the tooling. Is anything known about these tenders? Do any drawings, photographs, or even prototypes/pre-productions exist?

As far as I'm aware there were never any tenders made, nor are there any drawings. These holes have always been a bit of a mystery.
