Rather a silly puzzle that I'm not enjoying much. I'm about 3/4 done, but I'm stumped by one in the SW - any hints? (It might be a thematic one, so there may not be a definition.)

24a Car and train about to be scrapped (6)
H?U?S?

I'm not sire about the U, but I can't find anything without iy either.

hi Chris
Your U is wrong.
The crossing answer is one of the themed words

PS I have three left to do in the top RH corner. Any hints as to which are in the theme would be welcome

I agree..... all rather joyless. I find myself thinking of themed words and looking to see if they'll fit anywhere. Three-quarters done but also ground to halt in NE.

jazzy... 4d , 7d are themed

Thanks bunty
I had found the other 8, just 2 to go now

6a defn is North American ... you need a 6 letter bird ...lose its eggs ( 2 letters) and insert a n (a number)

Thanks again bunty. I was trying to insert a no

Thanks jazzy

Hi again jazzy
Does that mean that 19d doesn't start LAB?
