I’m not very good at ‘random’ so my attempts at wagon loads always look too neat & tidy (if that makes sense) 1 minute ago, KNP said: …but I’ll still have a couple of T3 off you next month though!!!

I have parts from a Ratio signal kit and some posts I printed that I thought of using as a load…. ….but I’m still not convinced The load looks nice but my 'concern' is the smaller pieces - finials, lamps, levers, arms - could move about a bit if the wagon was rough shunted or subject to coupling snatch and suffer damage. Would they be packed/braced to prevent that? Tools - if it was me I'd have the tools with 'me' in the brakevan/messcoach but that's my opinion rather than anything rules based. 2 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted July 4 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 4 I wonder if such a load would actually be sheeted. 1 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Nick C Posted July 4 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 4 I'm sure I've seen a photo of a loaded GWR signal wagon somewhere on here, can't remember where though! Perhaps @The Stationmaster might know? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted July 4 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 4 ISTR that there's a layout on here based on the Reading signal works, but the info may have been lost in the great crash a few years back. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing about anything (my wife will confirm), but I would have expected the smaller bits to be inside the CC7. 3 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Nick C Posted July 5 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 5 Thinking about it further, I'd expect that the signal itself would be largely assembled before it left the works, so the lamp casing, brackets etc would already be attached to the post - probably everything except the arm itself. 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
