NIR Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Those low profile, square roof vents that seem to appear on lots of northern railcars and coaching stock Are they monsoon vents? - nothing else from the model suppliers comes close but it's difficult to find a decent photo of the buggers https://www.wizardmodels.ltd/shop/carriage/roof-castings-set-24-monsoon-vents-rc8/ Edited April 4, 2019 by NIR Quote
0 NIR Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Same as on a BR Class 105, but not looking much like the monsoon vent casting, so what the hell are they? Edited April 4, 2019 by NIR Quote
0 NIR Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Answering my own question, still no idea what they are called but they look to have been hexagonal (pointing front/back and slightly elongated) not square http://www.easybuildcoaches.co.uk/TOP/DOWNLOAD/Cravens Class 105 v2.pdf (page 16) and as model castings they seem to have been made by Craftsman Models of Warwick, who no longer exist So not monsoon vents Edited April 4, 2019 by NIR Quote
0 NIR Posted April 6, 2019 Author Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) BR Class 105 (and Class 110) roof extractors were supplied by Greenwood's & Airvac Ventilating Co Ltd https://www.railcar.co.uk/type/class-105/description Presumably also supplier to the UTA/NIR builds. I'm pretty sure I saw the same vents on lorries, vans and buses too. Edited April 19, 2019 by NIR 1 Quote
