Butler Henderson Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Supplied as an add on is a short length of pipework, which as to where it fits as me completely bemused! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold slow8dirty Posted January 8, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2013 Think its just a spare. If you look at the downspout at the rear of the box, the angled section is a seperately glued on piece, possiibly susceptible to being snapped/knocked off as its so close to the roof.

Butler Henderson Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks Does the downpipe on yours actually reach the gutter as neither that fitted nor the spare are long enough on mine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matabiau Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 The Blue Anchor signal box has steps that stop in mid air. This is because the real thing is built next to the platform ramp at the station so the steps in real life stop on the elevated platform and not at the base of the signal box. Bachmann include some crude steps to complete the flight should you not want to recreate accurately Blue Anchor station. Perhaps something similar happens at Shillingstone preventing the real downpipe runnign the full height of the box and the spare part enables you to fill the gap if necessary?

RMweb Gold slow8dirty Posted January 13, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 13, 2013 No! Hadn't looked before as its not on the layout yet, mines is about a 1-1 1/2 short of the gutter. If yours is round about that as well, looks like Bachmann have erred on the side of caution and fat fingers. Pity as the roof fits on quite snugly with out any jiggling about. Easy to sort, and sort I will have to as its right in front of the control panel! HTH Matt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
