There were still using them upto a year or two ago on Central. Maybe its worth contacting some TOCs to find out what they did with them?

Don't know if this outfit is still going, some websites still remain after the firm has gone bye-byes. Probably best ringing first if you are interested. They do repro ones, priced Â£6.95, or Â£50.

Presumably the Â£50 ones are for Pullman trains and gold plated, or are the guard's equivalent of the Swiss Army Knife and double up as a cattle prod, restraints for ticketless passengers, and have a completely useless thing for getting stones out of horses hooves despite living in the age of the motor car. Otherwise they must be bloody good at that price seeing as they just make a little hole in a piece of card.

4 aspect Bardic lamps? anyone got a photo of one?

I assumed it meant it could display either white light, or red, or green, or yellow, by moving a switch - otherwise it would be one bloody big lamp to hand carry!

Now a four aspect with theatre indicator or juction aspect - that would be a torch to brag about.
