RMweb Premium M.I.B Posted December 4, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) On 29/11/2020 at 14:00, gwrrob said: , hopefully roped correctly. Vehicle loading - easiest summarized as "Make a cross - keep it straight, start low and end higher" You have three planes of movement (up/down, left/right and front/back") Crossing chains or ropes at either end gives control over "front/back, left/right". Un-crossed chains/ropes allow for a lot of sideways movement. Starting low and ending higher sorts the third problem. So crossed chains/ropes in a straight line from the floor to a shackle or suitable attachment point on the chassis of the load. Sudden braking on that load would see the top planks behind the Jeep being compressed and more slack available on the ropes = more movement. If the load were heavier, and thus have more momentum, the planks might even snap giving a lot more slack on the restraints. Wheel chocks nailed into the wagon floor help too. The Jeep would have rings or shackles fitted probably on the bumpers close to where they meet the chassis rails.

RMweb Gold Popular Post gwrrob Posted December 5, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted December 5, 2020 Sadly due to Covid they'll be no Santa Special or The Polar Express on the SDR this year. Hopefully this will lift the spirits of Christmas's gone by with 6412 doing the honours alongside the beautiful Dart. Seen before but nice anyway. 23 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 5, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2020 A lovely picture Robin. And that lowly hut, a few generations back, might have been "the office" for a few men maintaining the line. Different world indeed - and so pleasing that the preservation movement has enabled us to see a little of it. 2 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used one of their 1/48th sets on 4 pieces of armour so far..

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted December 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 7, 2020 Some time ago possibly in this thread, possibly @checkrail’s thread or maybe even somewhere else, mention was made of some photographs of clerestory corridor coaches which retained their full length bogie footsteps until the late 40s. While I have now set to work on converting a Hornby clerestory brake to a K17 for my TPO I also sourced a C15 to update/ re-side. So I’m trying (without success) to find the appropriate posts... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
