Engine Shed Layout Prototypes






I recently designed a layout for a GWR branch line engine shed including a coaling stage, which I thought was a bit extravagant for such a small facility. However, I've found some photos of just this sort of thing at Stratford upon Avon. The layout is very similar to my one and includes a twin track shed and a small coaling stage with an incline for wagons. This is a perfect basis for some scratchbuilding and would look great, as well as offering some interesting shunting operations. It's not quite the rural scene I'm looking for but there's no reason why I couldn't relocate it to somewhere more rustic.
