I would be grateful if anyone could direct me in the direction of the above for Hornby Catalogue No.R3199 "BITTERN". Many thanks.

I have one in resin with identical external shape, but with flat base and no "plug-in" bits to suit the original fitting holes in the body, i.e. you'd have to align it by eye or by measurement and glue it in place.
Not sure if Peter's Spares might do the official part.

Thanks for speedy reply. Your resin one certainly sounds that it is worth a try. Peter's Spares do not list the Hornby one and Hornby weren't able to help either. Please PM me to let me know how to proceed with purchase. Many thanks.
