Hi Everyone,
Many thanks for all your help:
Rob: I have asked Pooks, no reply as yet... I will post here as and when...
Tim: Thank you, I'm really looking for how to look after my DM2 (not really anything specific) just in case I miss something; RN's lack of workshop manuals appears to be 1) being out of stock, and 2) issues with the printers.
Thanks BEngo, and 'by'eck' for your added contribution, I will hang fire :-) for the mo - but great to have the info...
CanalChef - yes please! They do say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.. If you could email the National version that'd be fab: nameandaddresssupplied@runbox.com - many thanks indeed!
I guess (like the engines) it'd be a carbon copy?
Many thanks all, happy boating!
Mark
