Farish J 94 tank

[BramptonBranch]

I have noticed in the past there seems to be two distinct versions with the saddle tank further back from the smokebox front on some models.
I have both versions on the Poole NCB version is one an older model?
Cheers guys!

I've got four and never noticed!

I have two. Never noticed until now, but one of each version!

[Portpatrick]

only got one.  Must have a look at it - and other peoples'.  Mine is a Chinese version

No, there has only been one version. The smokebox is a separate moulding, so if it's forward ahead of the tanks, rather than flush with them, it means the loco has been taken apart and not put back together correctly. It's a good way of seeing if the J94 has been meddled with in the past.

It can't slide out on its own either as it is retained by lips on the chassis.

Cheers,

Thanks for the info appreciated!
Have a  few J94s but only one like that, but there's one on eBay, "Robert" which appears different which made me wonder.

Cheers
