I thought about the brake coach being in the middle, but it suits situations where the loco runs round the train at an outer terminal to run back the other way. It would seem pointless to have a brake / guards compartment next to the engine.

The only Dog Lane in Sutton is off Bodymoor Heath Road, passes the Dog & Doublet pub & ends at Brook Marston Farm Hotel.

I wonder if the reception was at the San Remo restaurant?

My local hardware shop has them. I use them (as well as drain maintenance) for paint stripping old toys & models that I restore for a hobby. Mind out for the fumes though! They will burn off the lining in your nose!!
