16a Diagonal - 'nog' (wooden peg, round, in) 'dial' (face)

35a Chessel (cheese [Derby] mould) - 'chess' + 'el' (railway)
2d Nailings - 'n(ew)' + '(r)ailings' (missing start)

28a stear

[lashley]

many thanks but 16a is only 7

[jazzgirl]

28a clue should read old guide finally dies rip when lowered

[Lie-in King]

Apologies for 16a

The clue for 28a is actually -

Old guide finally dies – RIP when lowered?

Accuracy is all, as I just discovered :-)

[jazzgirl]

16a could be Digonal ( if I have made a couple of errors with 7d and 8d

[jazzgirl]

16a could be digonal (7) if I have made a couple of errors with 7d and 8d

[Lie-in King]

Aaargh! Good job I checked first, you beat me to it, jazzgirl :-)

[jazzgirl]

Sorry my post appeared twice - oops
I am checking my other answers for errors now

[jazzgirl]

I have now corrected 7d and 8d to fit with 16a (digonal) so hope all is good now
