Guess the object

Ben6899

Right, I actually think you intrepid sods will get this pretty quickly! Apologies it's a collection of objects - rather than an object - but I couldn't find photos of the individual parts.



For scale, the red bit is about the size of a 2ltr bottle of Tizer.

Is it one of Blofeld's atomic bombs?

natrix

Is Tizer relevant or could it be a 2 litre bottle of pepsi???

Anything to do with railways??

Ben6899

Could be Pepsi. Or Cream Soda.

It's associated with railways.

Correct. A Surelock points machine (this one would be located in the 6ft by the looks) which is driven by an electric motor (the blue bit). So it's not operated by cable, but could well be electro-mechanical i.e. operated by a lever frame with electrical contacts.

Over to you. I said it was easy.

Folks, never let Pinarello guess an object, even if he guesses correctly just pretend he didn't.

Boast all you like, we don't believe you 8)

Is it a hedgehog/porcupine/spiky animal trap??

pinno

It is a live animal trap, in other words it doesn't kill the animal. Over to you Natrix, that'll give you something to do.
