1970s era Yard lighting .

[Darren.d]

Quick question.

What sort of exterior lighting would have been used outside and around an engine shed in the mid 70s?

Be looking for something for 0 gauge inside and out for a 2 road shed.

I can remember lighting like this mounted too the outside wall, they where probably older than the 70s though.

I’d say your best bet is to look at photos of engine sheds still in use at that period. 
 

Some would be old steam steam sheds, perhaps modernised to a degree. Others would be newly-built facilities designed for diesels. Those categories would have quite different styles of building and probably also very different lighting. 
 

What sort of shed and location are you thinking of?

Two varieties of lighting fixtures seen almost everywhere from the 50s up to the 90s, quite possibly Inchicore made products.

There's still some around at the GN Navan station.
