The yellow box bodied ones are ex-BT cable gang wagons, the flap above the cab was to carry long ladders. https://www.britishtelephones.com/vehicles/specialist/236.htm Telephone poles were carried (and put up) by purpose built pole erection units https://www.britishtelephones.com/vehicles/peu/010.htm Nick

Looking at RR Picture Archives 722 seems to have had a partial repaint when it was on FEC, possibly using close-enough shades of yellow and gray. As the NEC patches don’t quite match the background I’d be inclined to explore 298’s suggestion of Fox warning panel yellow patch decals. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locoPicture.aspx?id=164562

Not quite as adventurous but this repainted Model Power Alco has a certain charm

Yakima WA?

Looks good, have you checked out Bernard Kempinski’s Port of Los Angeles layout? The posts are on his US Military RR blog tagged with POLA https://usmrr.blogspot.com/?m=1

The Wiking models come up rather nicely with a coat of paint, these being Danish, they’re Bedford CFs

Norfolk and Western’s later SD40-2s had a low short hood but the long hood was designated as the front. http://rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1584409 Here’s one I made earlier

Thanks for the translation and the kind words, I’m glad you like the layout. I just meant the loco as I bought the body so long ago and there have been so many detours along the way. The layout probably is fairly complete but I keep adding bits. I keep building and acquiring wagons and locos too.

The magnum opus (or should it be stor arbejt?) is complete!

Would the 4 wheel Minibulks suit, they seem to have lasted to the early 90s https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/brtgraincovhop?fpciidx=27

Locos and Stuff offer 10.5 and 12mm disc wheels and seem to be quite flexible (I’ve got a project that needs 10.5mm wheels when I get around to it) https://www.locosnstuff.com
