7812's tender to 7802
===Tender===
Bradley Manor has been running with a 4000 gallon Collett tender (pictured above). Owning group The Erlestoke Manor Fund are constructing a more appropriate 3500 gallon Churchward tender for Bradley Manor using serviceable parts from a GWR 3500 gallon tender (No 2329) which they have acquired in ex-Barry condition. The Fund's goal is was to complete this during 2017.<ref>[http://www.erlestokemanorfund.co.uk/about-us/our-goals/ EMF Web site 'Our Goals and Objectives' page]</ref>
Sister locomotive 7812 Erlestoke Manor already has a 3500 gallon tender; the contrast in tender size may be seen in the picture below.In January 2018, this tender was detached prior to 7812's move to Tyseley for overhaul, with the 3500 gallon tender remaining at Bridgnorth to be repainted and paired 'temporarily' with 7802.<ref>EMF Facebook</ref>
