No.30 Loading Gauges (from Ratio Kits)
I needed a self contained task so this week I have been making up a batch of Ratio Loading Gauges of the GWR and GWR/LMS varieties:
There are some useful drawings and pictures available in my favourite GWR reference book (A pictorial record of Great Western Architecture, A Vaughan (1977), Oxford Publishing Company, pp373-375). The pictures appear to show the rigging made from white rope, with the separate lengths from the opposite sides of the loading gauge joined together prior to passing over the corner pulley.
