That's DEFINITELY how they make Fosters.

But as I've noted before on the forum, you don't see it on tap much here, nor a Aussies drink it.

Isn't that how the make Fosters ?

Great to see you out and about.

It's a good feeling.

With all best wishes.

Many thanks Steven B and Class8mikado, and everyone else who has chipped-in with. Helpful comments!

Having given in for another pack could i show my ignorance with a few questions about pullmans of this era ...
Are all pullman cars 'at seat dining'  or are parlour cars non dining ?
Think i read somewhere that the Kitchen end of kitchen cars always faced towards the centre of the train...rather than back to back,  is that right ?

Thanks chaps.

I'd forgotten how good they were

A most excellent band. Having grown up with the whole 2-Tone movement, they were a natural progression for me, with Steele & Cox being ex-The Beat. Roland Gift's voice is, if you'll forgive the pun, a gift.

Not anymore, mate. I've got a fancy bumbag now

Seems perfectly clear to me... 

That might be true if I knew what I was looking for: I have no idea what the push-pull gear would look like as a separate spare part!

Well i dug out my spare body and checking with photos of the real thing on Google images - Found this  https://glostransporthistory.visit-gloucestershire.co.uk/Push%20Pull%20YTT.html  - my spare has gear intact on one side but damaged missing (from the crash) from the other  so sorry cant help.

Many thanks for that article! Difficult to tell whether the "Dapol spares" kit I spotted chez Peter's Spares includes the necessary parts though ... ... ... I might just buy the kit to find out, now there are prototype photos for reference!
If you have a photo of the undamaged side of your push pull loco I can compare it with a non-push-pull loco and try fit bits from the spares kit to suit? Then all I would have to do is renumber the loco to be ready for the forthcoming suburban coaches.
