    Looking at it close up I can see you are right, makes more sense but I didn’t know the Trust had one

    I see one pallet with 4 'things' and another with 2 'things'. I'm guessing that they are the 6 valve assemblies.

    To me they look like cylinder heads of an ICE engine, there’s more in the distance? Haven’t they just acquired a 350 shunt?
    Certainly to me not part of the rotary gear design as I last saw it? See link …..

    Thanks, I’m not familiar with what the Lenz valves look like. The 350HP shunter was stabled on the next road
