    I have bought one of these recently as well and you have made me aware of this issue as I had not looked too closely at the kit as yet. I see on the Gibson catalog this which I wonder could be what we need? 4M68 10 x 1/8” to 2mm. bore reducing bearing/sleeve

    Did anyone ever do a J78 kit? I know connoisseur did the J79 and there is not a massive difference beyond the obvious crane.

    Just FYI the cockenzie and port Tranent waggonway was opened in 1722 and was briefly involved in the early stages of the 1745 Jacobite rebellion

    Appreciate I am a bit late to this discussion. However I know of several examples in Scotland where dormitories were provided for enginemen on lodging turns At Brechin, a large and impressive branch line terminus in Angus part of the station building was a dormitory. In Mallaig at the end of the West Highland line there was a separate dormitory block across from the platform. And I believe there was also a dormitory in Kyle of Lochalsh. So perhaps this was not so unusual?
