    Does anyone know of a set of the external ballast weights as fitted to the sides of the frames on Ruston 48DL locomotives going spare?

    We are looking to aquire a set as our Ruston at the Purbeck Mineral and Mining Museum is missing its ballast weights, and we would like to refit then.

    Perhaps someone knows of a scrap loco somewhere that has them fitted?

    You can see them clearly fitted to the frames in this picture:
