Yep, there is no way to filter them so I have zero interest in the content of 99% of them. If you could narrow it down to just 'N' it would cut the emails down.
I have just looked at this week; 3 on Monday, 2 yesterday and 2 today. None were of any interest.

I am by no means an expert on Tri-Ang models but do have a fascination for 50s/60s models, follow a couple of FB forums and also have a bit of a collection of TT3.

From my understanding of the OO range, models first introduced had chassis made up of sheet steel sections as per the exploded diagram in the link above. Later (late 50s/early 60s), this type of chassis was superseded by a diecast metal one.

Of course none of that answers the question, and I admit it has me stumped, the general shape and hole (for a motor shaft possibly?) suggests some kind of spacer or mounting bracket, possibly unrelated to the loco.

If @Southerngooner is OK with it, and I can figure out how to post a pic of the item on the said FB forum, I will happily ask there to see if anyone can shed any light.

I've never been into Ultravox or Midge Ure to any great extent although I have seen Ultravox a couple of times.

Dr Feelgood - I've always thought of them, as @EtchedPixels says, as a high quality, foot stomping, top quality pub band who made it quite big.

For me one of the best ever pub rock outfits was Brinsley Schwarz :

Probably the best pub band that escaped being a pub band (except maybe Chas & Dave)

There's a diagram of the chassis halfway down this page but doesn't show your metal piece:

Could it be a weight within the body shell?

Thanks Nick, I wouldn't have known from that camera angle.

AI thinks it's probably part of a pinball machine :)

Doesn't come up as anything related to model railways.  Maybe post it on the Hornby Community forum?
