RMweb Gold Right Away Posted February 9, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) Query for ex C & W staff/heritage restoration aficionados. Could anyone explain what this piece of equipment (arrowed) is on this Bachmann Mk1 BG? Close up view - as can be seen, item in question is far to the right of battery box.

101 Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 (edited) It looks like a representation of a air brake distributor to me Edited February 9, 2023 by 101 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Right Away Posted February 10, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 10, 2023 Thanks, 101. Apologies, if this post might have been better placed elsewhere on the forum but I felt a “prototypical” airing would be more apt. The model is meant to represent a version running in the very early ‘60s (see steam-heat overhaul date on sole bar) with vacuum brake only. Not certain when these began to be dual fitted. I guess the model tooling is generic in order to cater for all versions. Time for the scalpel maybe....? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roythebus1 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 It is indeed the air brake distributor, well spotted! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
