Junctionmad Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 I'm involved in a small projects with a few members in the club ( wexford MRC ) to try and restore a pair of miniature Webb and Thompson ETS machines , once widespread on the railways. We have three units , but only one is in any way complete. In particular we are missing the galvanometer and the locking coiks from the other two. I have just received the wiring diagrams etc I was wondering if any members here could help or might know where I might locate bits and pieces for these machines ( or someone might donate them. ) The idea is too have a fully working pair as a permanent exhibition in the club house Now if I could find a pair of harpers block instruments !!!!! Thanks Quote

Mayner Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 The Festiniog Railway S&T engineer or the Welsh Highland Railway Society http://www.whrsoc.org.uk/ may be able to help. IE donated 15 instruments & spares to the FR, they have plans to install remotely operated W&T instruments on the Welsh Highland, with encrypted internet rather than copper connection Quote
