Thank you. Wiggy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirley Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 The nearest I came to it is a Markits M4SBD4 Smokebox Door Handle GC & LNWR (Turned Brass) - adapted, otherwise I use a hand wheel and a piece of brass wire for the lever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted August 29, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 29, 2019 Anyone any idea why Irish railways seemed to prefer this arrangement over the two handles that were more or less universal on the mainland since the 20s? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Kirley, Looks like I'll have to make one up but worth asking the question. I didn't know if they were in any kits or not. Wiggy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirley Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Neil they possibly are in some of Studio Scale Models locomotive kits in white-metal but I don't know if Des would sell they as a separate item Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
