    Good info there Paul... thanks.

    I noticed while browsing that you haven't seen all four HQ parts catalogues....
    The one you are missing I have...
    Catalogue No. M37441 issued October, 1973

    It has a half red half green cover.

    Parts book

    Hi Absinth.
    Thanks.
    I do actually have that one now but have not had a chance to go through it as yet.

    I do not want to pollute the thread but this is what I now have

    48-215 to HR master parts catalog.
    1 of the HK parts books M371170 issued April 72.
    1 of the HT parts books M36831

    GMH Catalogue Number M37441. Issued October, 1973. 607 pages.

    I know it isn't the original engine but mine is HE1 and then a clockface with the arrow pointing towards the one.
    Anyone date it?
