IN THE TIME MODELLERS FORGOT !!!! 0:44 In the steam era, passenger trains HAD to have a carriage with a brake compartment in the last vehicle ! A major reason why many passenger trains operated with a braked vehicle each end, which saved shunting at the end of the line !!! Until 1978 the "Guard" was a Security Guard for the safety of the train & passengers. And was legally empowered to restrain troublesome passengers with ANY force deemed necessary to ensure safety, and a Bardic lamp came in very handy on such occasions ! He was therefore obliged to spend much of his time in his brake compartment, as his other duties included being responsible for ensuring the Driver did not pass a signal at danger, which explains periscopes & lookouts !!!

Hello @railwaymechanicalengineer4587 Thanks for commenting and sharing your in depth knowledge about brake compartments. Its good when people explain certain situations as I do not have the knowledge like a lot of people do, having never worked in this field. Thanks for watching. Regards Jason
