    Just out of interest what did the stock sound like, I have seen suggestion from some that it had wheels like 50p's due to the undoubted throwing of the brakes, but others suggesting that no such thing.

    Luckily for WCR they have a spare cylinder on 34073 albeit no idea what state that may be in?

    There was no obvious sound of flats on Tangmere or 47802.

    In addition to unrebuilt 34073, Steamtown also has rebuilt 34016. Would a cylinder from Bodmin fit Tangmere?
