The fact that John just has a cosmetic restoring mechanism bears out my feeling that the lifting arm mechanism is more than adequate without the need of the help of, as in my case a very light spring.
I'd go with the cosmetic option in view of John's observations.

I managed to get some 1mm ply from a model shop locally that sell radio control cars boats and aeroplanes. The checker plate I picked up from Blackgates some time ago Attachments:

Looking very nice indeed Andrew. Do you mind if I ask who supplied your gauge glasses?

Well there is the problem. They were with the loco when I got her. However the price labels were still on showing £85 each !
After some detective work they are the Dave Nobel ones I think.
