Great photo, thanks. Gives a feel for how the bins were arranged.steveh99 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 8:06 pm I think coal bins are the most wildly mis-modelled feature. Almost every layout I see shows coal bins with their backs to the track at a height level with the bottom of a wagon door. I think this is a self perpetuating error based on what modellers think should happen, not what actually did. I can't find a single photograph of a prototype for this arrangement, but I guess now someone might find one somewhere. However, there are photos or bins some distance away from the track and facing the track and this was by far the commonest arrangement. Here's one still at Corfe Castle station on the Swanage branch.
