w124bob Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) Where did you get those fire extinguishers from? I have a similar area to detail. I spent many years on and off depots and that's looking good. Here is a shot of the interior of the F&I point at Burton on Trent. The barrel on the trolley contained antifreeze, there is also a small electric pump used to top up the coolant on class 56 loco's. BR at this time didn't bother with antifreeze normally for most loco's (HST excepted), hiding just behind the trolley is the water top up and a second fuel pump. Outside you can just make out the pump house and fuel storage tank and a TTA tank wagon, picture was taken in the summer of 1980 when I was a young 2nd man! Happy days.

My attempt in thick card resulted in temperature induced warping leading to poor running (lifting wheel off contact rail) that is on my to do list! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
