Presflo Cement Wagon Roof Details

[46444]

I'm currently building a small rake of Airfix/Dapol Presflo wagons at present and planning on finishing them in the later Blue Circle livery using Cambridge Custom Transfers. 

 

One thing I've noticed is the additional pipe which runs from roof level past the pressure gauges on the side of the wagons. I've looked through many images including those on Paul Bartlett's site but can't find one showing the position of this pipe on the roof.  Also I'm looking  for pictures of the additional hand rail fixing points on the top of the wagon around the ladder.

 

Does anyone have any suitable prototype photos of Presflo roofs they could post?  Alternatively a picture of a Bachmann Presflo roof taken from the top?

 

Thanks in advance .

Mark,

 

Here's a few photos of Bachmann Presflo wagon 38-260Y. I hope I caught the right parts for you. If not, let me know.

Thanks Ian,

 

That's just what I needed and can work from those images.  Very kind of you to post them.

 

Cheers,

Thanks as well Mick.

 

Nicely weathered and the same livery I'm going to finish mine in.

 

The shot is also very useful regarding positioning of the hand rails and pipe run. 

 

Regards,

I don't take criticism of my site very well! The pipes are clear here https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/presflotunnel/e1fd9c2e2   https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/presflotunnel/e92e47c0   https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/presflotunnel/e18459544   https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/presflotunnel/eea0945d

No need to copy other models, however accurate!

Thanks Paul,

 

Goodness knows how I missed those.  Thankyou for pointing me in right direction. Much appreciated.

 

Apologies if I have caused you offence. It was in no way a criticism of your excellent site.

 

Kind regards,

 

Mark
