Quote from: madchadbrad on Yesterday at 09:17:48 PMApart from the numbering, are there any other differences between the push-pull versions of Dapol's Ivatt 2MT tank locos and the non-push-pull versions?
Yes - the push-pull version has extra tooling for the pumps and fiddly bits.

Now that's a really unfortunate typo :smiley-laughing:

Yes, the very prominent push-pull equipment by the smokebox, unlike the GW locos which had mechanical linkages, LMS ones had a vacuum driven system.

Thanks!
Darn it! That probably means that s/h examples of the original Dapol production run version will be like for hens teeth ... or any new run version at premium price!

I wonder it anyone does an add-on moulding/3D print that could be added to a non-push-pull loco?

Having had mine exit the table (at the kind of speeds only these locos seem capable of) and suffer external damage i had to buy a couple of spare bodies. If the push pull apperatus is still on either of them its yours, will have a rummage tonight...

I believe that the BRITISH RAILWAYS version of the Ivatt will have push pull apparatus fitted.

Only the following were push-pull fitted, according to my googling of Wikipedia:
41210 to 41229, 41270-41289 & 41320-41329.
