    I know of the two trailer wheels under Linda and Blanche that were from Moel Tryfan's trailer bogie, but the WHHR boasts having the bogie frame, side tank sheet and air reciever of Moel Tryfan.

    Not having been to Gelert's Farm for a long time, are the pieces still existant?

    The receiver certainly and the piece of frame thingy but the side tank sheet AFAIK was apprently smaller than MT's and was thought to be the original Taliesin?

    Prince's tender is also said to include a side tank sheet from Taliesin.

    I thought the side tank on the WHHR was from the Baldwin 590?

    this has been mentioned before in other posts but here goes..

    the side tank or oil store as its been used as is off baldwin 590

    there are the two trail bogie wheel sets that are now the leading pony trucks of blanche and linda.

    there is still the frame for trailing bogie frame and the air receiver cylinder.
