There was a Claud Hamilton project web-site, but it is now a blank page. A facebook page remains, but its last entries were in 2019. The Nat Pres thread for the project has also dried up....

Just another case of the NP illness called thread drift :rolleyes:, or people not being aware of what thread they are posting in? It's just like people talking about Scotsman in the Tornado thread. :) Dave B

I didn't take any pictures of this area myself whilst looking over the engine in the shed today, but there's now a valve on both sides - the fireman's side looking more angled than the driver's I think...for reference here's a screenshot from the...
