SR/BR Loading Gauge

After loading, open wagons were checked for height using this simple gauge to ensure that loads did not hit bridges etc. and therefore were usually placed near the yard exit. 

In reality, the ends of the gauges lifted using a system of wires and pulleys. GWR gauges dating from the 1890's had this facility to allow broad gauge stock to pass underneath, but it also stopped it hitting cab crew! GWR/LMS Design.

Supplied with pre-coloured parts although painting and/or weathering can add realism; glue is required to complete this model.
