Killybegs Train Shed Roof

The basic structure is now soldered up but there is still a lot of work to do!

Hi Mike,

 

Just under 600mm long at 5.5mm/foot. (3'0" gauge 16.5mm track). It's a reasonable copy of the County Donegal Railway station in Killybegs, unfortunately no longer with us, using a couple of photos taken inside the train shed in the 50's, as there are no drawings available.

I'm starting work today on the wall which supports the outer edge of the roof. This will also be framed up in brass sections. The original was timber framed (with timber cladding and large glazed sections) but as the combined wall/roof needs to be removeable, the structure has to be fairly sturdy to cope with handling by 'semi-skilled' museum staff.
