That sounds like a good idea. I wonder if there is a Haynes manual to help put it back together ? After all, you can get one for a Tornado steam engine Smiley

That got me wondering what else they did them for so I ha a look
So if you have an Apollo space rocket you've been trying to put back together then you in luck.

I'd be curious to see what the baby manual is about Smiley

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
