Default Help! Electrics and circuit breaker

I've just tried to wake Dolly the CMP up after the winter and she doesn't want to get up. Battery is freshly charged and had juice to run the fuel pump to prime. Then I hit the starter button and I just got a "click".

I tried a couple of times, checked the engine moved freely with the starting handle, tried again and still just "click".

I'm assuming that's a duff solenoid or starter motor. "Click" I'm assuming is the solenoid moving.

Then, the whole electrical system stopped working. No lights, no fuel pump, no nothing. Dead as a dodo.

So, now that's looking like circuit breaker as well. I've left it a while too cool but still nothing.

Two queries:
  • Is the circuit breaker on the board behind the dash or is it somewhere else? (Cab 13, newer dash with round dials). What does it look like?
  • Can anyone give me the connections on the solenoid and circuit breaker to test?

Thanks for your help all, I'm still getting to grips with all this.
