When water is taken from a water column, the overflow on the ledge of the tender would drain out to the ground via two drain holes. Here we see the drain pipes from inside the tender itself. This particular pipe was blocked and rotten and will shortly be replaced. This will go way towards keeping the Fireman's feet dry!!

Inside the tender are a number of baffle plates that are fitted to control the forward and rearward movement of the water during the locomotive movements. Here we see the access door to the depths of the tender. The hinges have unfortunately rusted and will need to be replaced. At the time the photo was taken, it was stinking hot in here!
