    Something to so with the ATC fit out I think. Something to do with having a large ejector instead of a vacuum pump for the brakes.

    When we working on boiler ovehaul/retube of 92220 at Didcot after Rainhill we discovered that the Anti-forstalling valve had been blanked off... if you look it takes the form of a large diagraphram valve mounted over the large ejector on the side of the smokebox. connected to the brake pedestal in the cab by a small bore pipe

    we assumed it was there to stop the driver opening the large ejector after a brake aplication from the ATC. shades of Wotten Basset there......

    My late father John was signalman at Bromsgrove (box on the platform) 1960 to 62 - early in his railway career. He told me about the cutaway section on the 9f tender for coaling at the small stage.

    Martins 9fs incidentally look superb.

    But they'd all be brought back to the shop under warranty.
