You do realise that this scale affords the forks lift with the use of the chain...

Whatever got to Dikitriki has also got to JB who is clearly in mischevious mode....

As said before, don't forget the ROPS bar and the seat belt.

No seat belts, but quite a lot had some form of basic roof to protect the operater.

Wheres the propane bottle or were forklifts petrol or diesel fuelled in the 60s ?

Internal only ones were/are electric, (no fumes). External only ones back in the 60's most were petrol up to 2 ton lift, after that weight they were diesel, nowadays most are either diesel or propane, petrol ones these days are very few and far between. Up to 2 ton lift most are propane over that they are nearly all diesel.

I used to drive a diesel forklift at the last company I forked for and I am sure it had been designed from a recycled mountain goat - we had a very steep yard which was fine for 4 wheeled truck but artics' delivering or collecting had to park at the bottom of the yard on the main road. The fork lift would whizz up the yard in all weathers when carrying pallets - it was fun in the snow going down though and on more than one occaision I slid onto the road before it stopped

Thoughts have turned back to the diorama/layout. Steve mentioned angles and im coming round to something like this
The tracks under the blue scrawl will be removed and the small green rectangles represent one 4x2ft board, I think a slightly convex 'front' may work. I wont be trying to incorporate a backscene as it will limit viewing angles and i want to view from all sides, photoshop to the rescue for pictures

I quickly lasered some platforms, this shows what you get in 4x2 in 1/32.... not a lot
And this shot shows why it will need lots of detail and weeds at the front, not to mention accurate chairs..
The station building needs to go back a couple of inches and the plan is to use a full 4ft depth for the boards

More than me Sir
Are you going to have rails from the engine shed, or is it going to be 'post modernisation' ?
You'll get a good sense of depth out of it that way Guv, its looking good

Restraint...admirableNo rails for the engine shed, just rot and weeds
Nothing parallel to the front edge or main axis of the boards either if you can....

Im seeing this as more like a large diorama than a layout
