Another top explore Neil. Great finds too! I think that thing that you thought was off of a locomotive was part of the gong arrangement for one of the signals in the tunnel. These were used to alert the driver with an audible sound of the approach to a signal that would otherwise be difficult to sight. I know Mansfield Road Tunnel definitely had a gong in it, so this is likely some remnants of that.
Absolutely fascinating, that refuge @11:40 looked like they'd been having a party in there!!!! I have nothing but admiration for you and the other guys like Ant Daykin and ALW research team who get into these tunnels, great work.

Oh I didn’t know such thing existed. Thanks for the info
Mansfield Road tunnel still had trains running through it in May 1968.

@@rcflint From Carrington station cutting north to Bulwell was the Sherwood Rise Tunnel.
