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 is a complicated pressing which has involved making some fairly hefty dies however the recent aquisition of a 200 ton press has meant that the price has come down to £72.00 + carriage and VAT each. The bare flap is illustrated but is available (at additional cost) with chain and hinge though these can usually be recovered from the old flap.

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!
