Adding to what Scott Manley wrote, here's my latest interpretation - "Keep outside the radius of this machine when it is in operation".

Not sure of all the words but looks like

" Keep ?? The ?? Of this machine when in operation"

Sorry but I “cheated”! I couldn’t find a clear enough photo to show the actual words so I used a decal about the right size and shape from a miscellaneous sheet. It must have been convincing as nobody queried it!

The wording on this notice would be unique to this piece of equipment and you are therefore unlikely to find a decal for it.  I suggest that you should seriously consider “cheating”.

I have been trying to complete a reasonably close model of this derrick for some time, but have been stymied by not being able to read the words under the "DANGER" lettering on the rear and sides of the cab.  Louis' photo is clearer than most I have seen, and I can read some of the lettering.  Can someone with better eyesight than I tell me what the complete wording is?  Also, any suggestions for an HO scale decal set to use for this lettering?  I seem to remember a photo of a derrick model by Rupert Gamlen in "The Zephyr" years ago from the annual meet model contest, so perhaps Rupert is one source that can enlighten me (us).

Thanks in advance,

Scott Myers
