Miscellaneous Accessory Series Industrial Bagging Scales
The MAS series contains what would be known in Film/Stage/TV circles as 'set dressing' - smaller items added to the overall scene to give it character by adding details of an appropriate locale and period.
Closely based on the Pooley's scales which still sit on the platform at Bridge of Dun station on the Caledonian Railway, from which I was able to take measurements as well as the photographs which provided the basis for the textures, this version has an added backrail, as used for coal or potato bagging.
Thanks are due to fellow members of the Trainz Carriage and Wagon Works group who gently pressured me into searching out a prototype so that I could provide as accurate model as possible.
