Tilt Cab Man
Fulbourne Box 1968
Fulbourne was a GE Type 1 Saxby & Farmer box. The contracts for interlocking Fulbourne and adjacent Six Mile Bottom were awarded to S&F in June 1875 for £579 and £722 respectively. Horizontal lapped boarding has replaced the original vertical boarding below floor level with timber cross-bracing and diagonal interspersed with vertical boarding above. The rather ugly metal steps are obviously a later addition, but at least it still has its S&F type roof vent. Note the signalmans Renault R8 behind, a rather 'boxy' little car of the period. The box definitely appears to have a bit of a lean-on.
