Thanks Dan. Your Cobra knowledge is, as always, impressive.

Further questions (for my own interest)...

In the period when COB/COX cars were being built in England, and fitted with Smiths gauges, were the CSX 289 Cobras being fitted with SW gauges in England or were they to be fitted in US?

Also, when the 427 Cobra rollers were being built in Thames Ditton, should I assume that the Smiths gauges were fitted there? Any known reason why the 427s were not fitted with American SW gauges? Cheaper that way, maybe/probably?

Cheers,
Glen
