    hello,
    Attempting to find out how many preserved toads have or do not have Sand Boxes.
    Two in the veranda and to inside the cabin....
    Looking to see if there is a market for getting some castings.

    many thanks

    Nick

    Hi,

    To remove 1 from the list W68669 at Llangollen has a full set of sandboxes. I'm currently rebuilding the box on the veranda that holds the boxes, this being one of the final jobs of it's most recent restoration.

    One thing i am after though is the sander linkage for the boxes inside the van, the regulator style handle that is mounted on the veranda, link rod to the sandboxes, and guide brackets that bolt onto the roof struts. It all looks fairly simple to manufacture, but if anyone had a spare set it would be easier.
