Bulleidboy Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 When fitting TTS Sound to my R3443 Flying Scotsman, this part was loose in the box. The loco does not appear to be missing any valve gear - this part is not black like the rest of the valve gear and rods. I think it is a part that just found its way into the box during packaging at the factory - do you agree or have any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Spare Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I think this could be the grate rocking lever which sits underneath the cab on the righthand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 Hi GS - I think you could be right. Having looked at numerous FS on Ebay - pictures of both sides of the loco - I found one picture that shows it. It is not on all loco's (FS).Thanks for the confirmation. I'll stick it back on next time the loco's out of its box. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinB Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Well it looks like this part on one of my A4s. On all my A3s Hornby never fitted one or it fell off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
