The tenders of the WD 2-8-0 and 2-10-0 locos were certainly of a different shape. They were manufactured under wartime conditions – had to be purely functional and employ the minimum of materials. In most other types the engineer produced tenders following his own sense of style, complementing the loco design and perpetuating his company's traditions.
