| Moorswater Engine Shed on the Looe Branch |
I've been fiddling about in SCARM again to design a small engine shed layout, making use of the cheap Hornby track parts that I have and with a compact format of about 5' x 18'' as a default size. This could be a rural branch line engine shed, with a single road shed and basic coaling facilities, a water tower, ash pit and maintenance sidings, or it could be a more substantial two road shed with a small coaling stage, which is a bit unrealistic but a nice feature.
The scenic break would be disguised with carefully positioned buildings, although it would be tricky to make it completely hidden, unless I used a bridge or archway of some sort. The inspiration is something like Moorswater on the Looe Branch in South East Cornwall, where there was a two road shed and a very narrow bridge that could be a potential scenic break.
