Has anyone got help for me with regard to 12d? Charles brilliant erecting complex units. May be 8 letters or more likely 7. I have CARR???S But the second R may not be there at all.

CARRA(C)TS

Thank you Don

Finished - but can't parse 29A.
Help?

Those of us without the crossword can't help unless you tell us the clue.

"American railroad man stops aged Porter"(3)

One of the words in the clue is superfluous.

sorry rossim, that should be 'porter' without cap P.

I have only just started the crossword, but I don't think there is an extra word in this clue. I have porter as the definition and a 3 letter answer.

hi tomsdad,

I agree with definition, and probably have same three letter answer as you - but can't parse it.
And I think it has to have an extra word to yield a letter necessary to the eighteen letter definition of the phrase referred to in preamble.

L stands for railroad in America. This "stops" AE - aetat or aged in Latin.
