Atomic Systems

Hi all.

I’m currently building the NYMR and am creating assets.
Can anyone tell me if this wooden structure has an official name?
They appear at the end of platforms and crossings. I didn't want to name them wooden leg breakers.

P.s. If you are interested in my progress with the NYMR so far please see the other thread at http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic. ... 4&t=119358

anti-trespass grids? or maybe guards.

http://www.railcrossings.co.uk/anti_trespass_guards.php

Don't know the name of them, but I think they are to stop livestock from going onto the tracks sheep cattle etc. Could be called something like a cattle stop.

Cattle Grids. They are also used at ungated level crossings and on public roads without fencing or hedges where the road passes from one field to another. In the latter case they are placed alongside the gate so that you can drive straight through without getting out of your car to open and close the gate.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I think I'm going to go with anti-trespass guards as they do look similar to the ones briyeo1950 provided the link to.

Hasnt somone done them for RW already, I think that the CK&PR & Bristol - Exeter routes have them on

Yes, I downloaded some from this site some time ago. They are in my assets list under Niall Wallace as Level Crossing Grids.
Search for File ID 18722.
regards Ted.

Cattle grids I think is the correct term. They are to stop cattle wandering on to the line.

There's some in the library, but also some included in the AP01 free stations pack on Steam. I think they show up as "crossing slats".

If i could have a query here too on a similar query. I saw a pic her on the forums the other day and for the life of me i cannont find it again. So here is the rough description. On the Bath Tempelcombe route outside of the buildings that i think where cattle are loaded and unoaded. The is a vertical pole with an arch over the top of it with like an inverted "C" that fits the shape of the wagon. What do those things do ? Is it just to make sure that the wagons are not to big to fit into the bulding? I am sure one of you will know what i am reffering to.

I think that might be a load gauge tester


Its to make sure the load meets regulations for the line (I think)

OK cheers. I will see what others say to see if they agree. But thank you.

Yes, I've always known those items as simply "loading gauges". Very commonly found at most goods yards in the days of steam to ensure wagons weren't despatched with loads exceeding the clearance distance.

on our railway we call them trespass boards

About the right height for stringing up trespassers
