You can find photos of the previous Ivatt 2-6-2MT here:
Hattons Version Details

Or, compare to Dapol's O Gauge model:
Photo 1
Photo 2

You're looking for all the extra gubbins either side of the smoke box (in place of the normal cylinder exhaust pipes).

Seems perfectly clear to me...  :confused1:

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.

I had to look up Georgia Satellites.
Can't say I'm too struck by Battleship Chains but I like some of their more rock n roll offerings which are great fun.
