7mm Heybridge Basin

Panniers.

you really can’t have too many. But building three or four of a broadly similar design, with detail differences, would be boring, particularly when they’re readily available, run well, look right, and are just crying out to be made suitably grubby. So I built two and a half*, and bought three.

* the half is still WIP, as @Pencarrow knows!

You can have too many. They all look the same, are evil and are prone to give you stress and headaches. Worst of the lot are 1366....

I have a simpathy with this, though I have built several in the past, 7754, 2035 plus saddle tanks 816, 2057 & 789, all since sold.
More recently, when asked what I was building , I replied - a pannier tank. Friends thought I had finally cracked.
Actually it was a Kitson long boiler PT for the Consett Iron co, as running at the Tanfield gala a few years ago.

Here’s two-thirds of a pannier!

I've been hoping someone will produce a kit of the long-boiler tanks - they could be as per your build, or the saddle tank variety by Sharp Stewart, some of which appear to be of identical design - e.g. SS 2503 (snap from IRS):

Short Pannier with short fireman - this is Dorothy isn't it?

Yes

Here she is in less happy days:

The pannier mod results in a nicely proportioned engine - wonder if anyone produces a kit in 7mm......
