No need to apologise - the gauges at the top clearly say LNER!

Thanks for that Danby Wiske ! (I should have gone to Specsavers)
Safe for me to post the other two prints now, any ideas on the loco type for the first pic and indeed the latter two?

Some clues there, air and vacuum brakes and light switches, were any L1s dual braked? Second pic is an A4.

Cab 1. Those switches were making me think about K1, B1 or possibly K4 (don't know about that third one - it depends on what was fitted to the preserved Great Marquess for latter-day operation in West Scotland). The dual braking is an interesting point though, so could be L1, unless the others I mentioned have had air brakes added....

Cab 2. Is it definitely A4? The spectacle plate possibly looks flat if you ask me. A3?

Cab 3. D10, B2, B3, B6, B8, O5? I think that very picture appears, captioned, in E Johnson's book on GC locos but I can't get at it just now.

The whistle control is A4, A3s were high up and not on the box end.

Looks like an A4

i would rule out B1 for cab1. The vacuum brake in the picture is the " Dreadnought" type not fitted on the B1's.

Photograph one is reproduced as fig 175 of 'The London and North Eastern Railway in Focus' by the late John Crawley, where it is captioned as 'Inside the cab of No. 9000' (ie the first L1).

Cab 3 is a Robinson 8M (LNER O5), number 412 to be precise.

The picture appears in George Dow's Great Central Vol 3.

Good morning all

The pic of the O5 cab is interesting as I'm building an O4/6 (rebuilt from O5).

Question: Are the plates to the back of the cab shutters? Or are they merely part of the seats with lockers underneath?

Second question: Does anyone know a source of castings for backheads to suit the O4 and O5?
