FAT 4 "caution" notice

[Owen Evans]

Not sure if this is 100% correct, or someone's 'best guess'?

Wind, If you wind a slack cable it won't fill the drum evenly and can run off the side causing all sorts of problems.

Many thanks to you all! The versions I have seen have the message on two lines underneath the CAUTION line, but I am pretty sure that the wording you have given (Wind, not Mind) is correct. It matches what I can see in blurred form on my pics. Now to find letters small enough for 1/76!

I was reading it in a polite, British way ...

Chris,

If all else fails you in the decal/waterslide transfer department contact Bill Brillinger https://www.pdc.ca/rr/custom_decals/ He's a railway model supplier in Canada with a laser cutter, an ALPS printer and a love for doing custom work.

I agree 100% with the lettering in Owen's photo being:

"- caution -
wind
winch cable
under load"

But I read his question as being whether those restoring the photo FAT have correctly painted the sign based on period photos/documents. I have no useful input on that.
