OO-N-O Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Hello, I'm planning a model if a small Diesel Depot (sorry yet another one) at the end of a fictional Heritage Line, the station will be off scene but I wanted to be able to show engines that would be running round their trains entering and leaving the scene, Some of these will be steam engines and I was wondering in these days of H&S what restrictions there would be in a steam engines entering an area where refuelling might take place, such as minimum distances, Steam engines must not pass this point, etc. Any ideas or pointers to where I might find the info great fully received. Thanks Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 None. Unless you are running your locos on petrol its safe enough, hell, you can put a match out in diesel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS2968 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Actually, you can do the same in petrol! The trick is to get the match into the liquid without igniting the vapour floating above. However - don't try this at home! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO-N-O Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Seen pics from the sixties with steam engines next the fuelling lines, and I believe the main running line is next to the fuelling line on the East Lancs, but wasn't sure if this was treated differently as it's not standing in the yard, and if there were any restrictions.
