have you got a photo of the hose? it does sound like a brake pipe if it has a shut off valve/cock?

I should imagine they are to be fixed to the monitor on the tank car, but without a look at the real thing, that is only an inspired guess.

Oh boy!
I want one, to run round at shows..

I was thinking it could be a way to get water in the tank from a tower of syringe?

There is a youtube video (about 23:30 into

) where the reviewer pulls the water jet out of the tank body, and the hose (and possibly the fitting immediately above it) look remarkably like your spare part . . .



So, do they leave you to fit that part yourself? Or is it a spare one in case you "wear out" the original one? Or is it a way to siphon out any leftover water before storing the wagon? Or am I just barking up the wrong tree altogether?

Hope this helps

I think it may be for a tank to let the water out when finished running? Does it fit anywhere?

I couldn’t find a spot to hook it up to

Will it replace the monitor, so firemen can use a hose instead?

That’s a good thought

Another thought:

The Toy Train series tankers have a connection on the side. I wonder if this hose is for one of those, and has been put in a wrong box, by someone disposing of a collection?

I have a fleet of Toy Train tankers and none of them came with a hose.

Just a cap over the outlet....

I was sure I had seen a model with a hose to connect to the outlet on the side of the tanker?

Perhaps a trick of the memory?

I have an LGB version which has a tap on the outlet, rather than a cap....

Straight out the factory box not a collection item
