South Devon Railway - GWR Cab Fiitings

The
South Devon Railway
GWR Cab Fittings

Two new items have now been added to the range of Great Western fabricated loco parts available from the South Devon Railway Workshops. Admittedly they don't come cheap but they are manufactured to the highest standard incorporating all the detail of the original designs. Both new items are for Great Western loco cabs and are standard to all GW locos be it a lowly Pannier or a lofty 'King'.

First is the standard design of firehole door flap - the one that the fireman flips up and down with a chain. It comes complete with chain! It is a complicated pressing which has involved making some fairly hefty dies. The complete job as illustrated and with chain costs £275 plus VAT. If you have an old one and can recycle the hinge, pin and chain then we can "knock one out" for you at £150 plus VAT.

The second new item is what the Great Western designed for drivers to stand the can of cylinder oil on over the firehole door to keep the oil warm. Most crews find it just as useful for standing the billy can on. So we call it by its official name of Oil Tray and can supply this at £108 plus VAT. If you ask for a Tea Tray then we will know what you mean!
