My bus number (if any): RTL 960, RMC 1458, RM 1585 and several RTs

They are in black & white in the Compendium, but if anything is not clear then I should have the original colour page layouts.

I would guess that these are the ones referred to on the "other side", but I can not view these either.

I'm sure Mike Lloyd published something in the RT/RF Register or its successor about getting the rods out which was a very rough pencil sketch on how to extract the rods and/or getting the cogs off, involved pinching the "screw slot " end together and pulling them out, is that it? As Martin posts on here perhaps he can post the article he did?

I've never managed to get the cogs off the ends of the rods yet!!

Hi Guys,
The end cogs do come off usually, I give them a bit of a spray up with GT 85 a couple of days before I go to work on them. I use a very blunt cold chisel and give the cog a tap which in my experience usually gets them off in one or two goes.

Regards,
Pete.

Hi Brian,
In regards to your reply, I think some point in the future I may need to pick your brains in regard to putting an RM front back together as one of the jobs I'm planning to do to RML 2460 next year is to replace the cab now that I have sourced the parts to do it.

Best Regards,
Peter.

By total chance perhaps someone listed a job lot of winder handles the other week on ebay. Not sure what they sold for.

If I remember correctly, the front U/S window handles on an RM are not the same as the others, they can be locked shut.

Yes they have a grub screw that can be wound in - also originally the lower saloon rearmost offside handle was longer than the others so that the cleaners could wind it down more easily to pass the vacuum hose through after the evening run in (apparently) - mine still has it intact !

Hi Graham,
Snap 2463 has the same. Well I've learnt something there as many years ago at a rally someone who at the time owned an RCL approached me about swapping that handle for a standard one as according to this person these were meant only for RCL's.
Glad I kept it now. That's what I love about RM's always learning something new!!

Regards,
Pete.
