On The Rails

There's been a significant development on the bunker on the rear power unit of 143.


Himself has fitted the rails around the top edge which keep the coal in when it's piled high.

On a Double Fairlie things like these are known as 'greedy boards', is there an equivalent for a Garratt?

143 is the only one of the WHR fleet to have rails on the bunker and they're quite a distinctive feature.

I think it's important to make these wee adaptations, wherever reasonable, to make a more accurate model.
