1366T rear sandboxes - where do they mount?

[Guest WM183]

Hi folks. I am adding some details to my 1366T, and I do not know where for sure the rear sandboxes mount. They're behind the steps below the cab doors I know, but are they mounted to the frame, or the footplate, or to the back of the steps? I cannot really tell from pictures.

This pic makes it look like they're right behind the steps?

 

Thanks much,

Amanda

Mounted to the frame I think.

The GA Drawing shows angle brackets from the frames, but the outer face does appear to be in contact with the back of the steps. I don't see anything connecting to the footplate.

Thanks folks! Might I inquire... where did the GA drawing come from??

NRM.
There's a contractual restriction on distributing copies of NRM drawings, but I figure a tiny extract like that ought not be a problem. Unfortunately like most NRM scans its in black and white, not grayscale, which means fractions are pretty much unreadable.

A copy could be gotten from the NRM though?

Oh yes, no problem, They'll do you a scan by email. The 1366 GA comes as a 8MB 21200 x 14800 pixel image. Not small but not particularly cheap either , but then archives cost a lot to run. Look for the section making and ordering copies.

Or try the GWS at Didcot - their drawings scans are excellent quality and less expensive than the NRM.
