    Hi Mattie
    17464 and 68784 are missing the two round veranda sand box covers at the AVR. When the frame is in a more advanced stage (about a year ish ) I am planning to get a pattern made to get 4 cast as well as other items we are missing, if you can wait a while I could get you some done as well possibly. We do have one somewhere I believe to copy.

    That is great news, we would be happy to help with the cost of the pattern and castings
    We are restoring 17447

    Just to confirm as I've reread my post and it may be a little misleading. I'm talking about the cast tops over the sandboxes as we have the 2 lids that go on top of these, are we talking about the same item?

    Hello, we are currently restoring back to original condition a Toad brake van at the Gwili Railway. The number we have for it 114762 but I have to check on this as I think this is incorrect. Ours too has missing verandah sand box covers and would be interested in sharing the cost of patterns/castings too? Can we join you in this?
