    The Peco N Gauge insulated joiners fit! Obviously they don’t hold the rail as securely as the 00 ones so care is needed in tracklaying, but they are a lot less noticeable, and do not need cutting down to fit. The Peco N gauge metal rail joiners fit bullhead rail from C & L and SMP - I have yet to try them on Peco Bullhead rail...

    But surely a ‘National ‘ railway museum means English, so anything outside that parameter should be cut up for scrap :-)

    Thank you. I have just checked my notes and am pretty sure this would most likely have been a Joshua Horton, born in 1802 in Brierley Hill: it couldn’t have been his father, who died in 1809, nor his sons, who were too young at the time. What a great find! - I’ll have to see if I can find more about his locomotive involvement.

    Interesting- I am related to the Horton family of Brierley Hill. They were boiler manufacturers and up until now I had no idea that they built railway locomotives! Do you happen to know the first name, or even an initial, of this particular Mr Horton?
