An engine servicing facility for the JGL

[Bob C]

For the sand facility, the problem may be "scale gravity" - hoses don't hang vertically due to material stiffness, narrowing the clearance in a non-scale manner. These hoses were hung close to clearance on purpose as they are heavy, stiff (particularly in cold weather), and must be man-handled to line up with fairly small access points. Movement of equipment would be very slow in a service area, so some contact would be non-critical in 1:1, but could cause damage in scale. Additional structural supports or something purpose built could be added to allow "tie-backs" to allow safe passage, just as in full size facilities. Am not Familiar with the fuel stand you have...facilities like it have these placed between tracks to allow service on both sides - both the swivel point and the angled joint articulate so all parts of the delivery connection can pass equipment on either track without fouling, and to fuel more than 1 unit along the fuel pad without re-spotting the power. Even though that may not be needed in your case, the equipment has that capability. Hope this helps. Am really impressed with the JGL and it's builder. Bob C.
