Can anyone help!
C.D.A INFORMATION REQUIRED please.
I would like any information that your members can offer regarding the Air Ducts at each end of a C.D.A ? are they simply to create an air flow keep moisture from the china clay?
I have recently converted 5 x Dapol “0” gauge HAAs based on my photographs from the early 90s and the smaller of the ducts is always appears on the right hand side of the bigger central one.
Most recent “you tube” clips show the smaller duct to the left with the addition of an elongated duct on the right , is this a further modification to increase an air flow?
I am sure that Craig Mundy will know all of the facts .
I view the website daily and love the content old and new , so interesting.

Here we see the magnificent profile of a King ??? 6007 King William IV of Laira Shed behind the coaling stage at Laira Shed on 12 September 1959. The loco was transferred to Stafford Road Shed just ten days later on 22 September 1959 and withdrawn from that shed in September 1963 and scrapped. Copyright Mike Roach
