This model is something of a departure for me. Normally I build wagons and
locomotives, but never get round to building any 'railway infrastructure'. I
have been dreaming of building a decent sized 'loco-shed' for some time, but
it wasn't until the availability of bulk parts that I had enough windows,
arches and roof slopes.
The model is based on a typical British prototype steam locomotive shed.
Following the demise of steam and widespread use of multiple unit stock,
many such buildings have either been demolished or have been converted for
other uses, such as in this case, to a wagon repair shop. (my main interest
is wagons, not locos...)

| Wonderful model, Huw! And that's just the half of it. The detail is equally impressive as well. It is great that as more bulk pieces become available, models such as yours will become more and more possible. Also, I am impressed with the clarity of (...) (24 years ago, 2-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)

| Huw, The shed structure itself is amazing without the attention to detail. But the details really give it a life-like feel. Congratulations on a great model and hope to see more "departures" of this kind. KK (...) (24 years ago, 3-Dec-00, to lugnet.trains)
