Testing completed the Kaplon tape and Blutak were deployed... Then some black PVC tape and an armless driver It fits...and despite the kinky coupling rod works rather well. 19 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the latest version can be problematic, I ended up disconnecting the jack shafts on both of my class 03's. Use the same excuse I do: Split box class 37's got everywhere, it is just there was never a spotter there to see it; that is how I justify 37029 on the Avon Street branch... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been replaced by a J70. The problem with a 37 on Upwell Drove is once its in the headshunt there's no room for anything else. A class 15 however....
