Craig,

There is one other D2 headstock I know of.

The D2 Roller Mike Sheardown has once had two.

The one currently (?) fitted is a replacement, a spare that came off a D2 once belonging to Clee Hill transport. Dick woolley had it as a spare and it went with the engine to Don Pritchard and then Ken Watkins, who finally fitted it to replace the original.

Its original, I am reliably told, had gone thin around the blast pipe. Now either Mike now has this one, or I hope it is still with Ken Watkins in Leintwardine.

Tony I would agree about QOTB keeping convertable gear, however the realist in me thinks that a cracked but usable headstock would be better on a pallet with QOTB and a good headstock fitted to Craig's Roller.
