    Hi Guys
    On behalf of someone else I'm trying to find a part for a GWR Toad AA21/23. I'm not technical enough to know what it is exactly but its a 'linkage mechanism which fits on to the threaded end of the brake handle shaft.' If anyone can help with me this or point me to an alternative source please let me now.
    Many thanks
    Steve

    A good place to ask would be at the Carriage estorers Convention, at the NYMR, October 10/11th. For details, PM me.

    Hello Steve,

    I've just put an AA23 toad back into service, at the P&BR. If you can provide a fuller description, or a drawing, we can possibly help. It sounds as if its the nut, with trunnions, that sits at the bottom of the brake handle shaft.

    Regards,
    Ian
