KNP Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Talking of my 'to do' list, I ended up working on something not on the list. I looked at both my Panniers and realised neither of them had lamp brackets at the front. Bunker missing the top ones but I will leave for now whilst I work out how the best way to fit securely as the moulded top is different on both locos. Looking through my Pannier Papers all these brackets seemed to be fitted differently, almost like local sheds have either fitted them or altered them to suit their need. I went for the most common version that most seem to have. Edited July 27, 2019 by KNP 13 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might need even more than you think because I'm sure you know that crews used to stow spare lamps on the footplate. The Hattons/DJM 14XX even has extra lamp brackets as per the real thing. Depending on your timeframe there might still be some red-bodied lamps in use - especially on the lesser routes. Main line services made the change over to white lamps very quickly as far as I can see. Edited July 29, 2019 by Harlequin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 Agree. I have just ordered three more packets from Wizard to cover all the additional ones I have noted. The Mogul, as far as I can see has 10 of them but in at least one picture an additional 3rd spare lamp bracket has been fitted on the footplate....!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) Auto train sorted. I suspect these lamps will never move as this train will always be in this configuration. Edited March 23 by KNP 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
