I wanted to have a small engine shed on my layout, so that I could include a water and coaling facility for shunting operations but also so that I could add some good lineside features. This will be a single road, small branch line engine shed, based on the typical structures and designs to be found at the end of a rural GWR branch line, which is what my shunting yard represents. As such, I have acquired a very cheap second hand Wills Craftsman kit which looks the part, although I'm also tempted to scratch build something, just to add a bit of individual character to the scene. As you can see, I have been looking for and have collected together some images of the sort of thing I'd like to include on the layout, so there's no shortage of prototypical inspiration.
An interesting assortment of designs there.
ReplyDeleteI like the corrugated iron cladding...very rustic!
