    I was hoping that page might have an update on a potential return to steam ... and it says "The mechanical work is almost finished. We hope to see the loco in steam again and hauling trains on the Watercress Line in the latter part of 2023."...

    The locking tray is separate but attached to the frame structure , roughly parallel to the tread plates. Once again not suitable for off the shelf components, everything needs individual fitting. Cheeers, Neil

    I believe they are integral to the frame - there's a photo of the underside of the Harman's Cross one here: https://www.swanagerailwaytrust.org/post/copy-of-signals-telegraph-servicing-harmans-cross-lever-frame

    Neil, I'm not familiar with a Stevens frame. Are there locking bars within the frame, or external to it? If part of it, and the frame was being changed, then that's also a lot of (safety-critical) work as well.
