This wives tale of 268 or 278 having K27 tenders just will not go away. This was discussed before and the D&RGW records clearly show that it NEVER happened.
I wrote the history of 268 and 278 using D&RGW records provided by Jack Thode and others. 278's tender was rebuilt long before any K27 was scrapped and 268s tender was not completey rebuilt, just the cistern (tank) which the shops were perfectly capable of doing easily. Anyone want to wager how long it will be before this crops up again?
