How about link 61962? I've tried searching te proboards forum with no success Discussion on Pete's Lamps starts here, http://modeleng.proboards.com/thread/5733/building-don-youngs-doncaster?page=96 but problems with Photobucket have removed access to the pictures so it was pointless posting it. There some pics on facebook though here https://www.facebook.com/liveSteamFlyingScotsman/photos/ms.c.eJw1zcsJAEEIA9COFuM39t~;YMo4DXh4J0RgR9HNw~_mfjqAAI63UCRafounRyfX3KGHndmFzeXs8LWF2n2OlXZ669T66UHzurHTQ~-.bps.a.376664006007596.1073741869.165868360420496/385558458451484/?type=3&theater Eddie
