The OO Garden Shed

 

By John Geeee.

 

Lets see if we can turn two Dapol single engine sheds into a two road roundhouse shape shed for the area by the turntable. I managed to make the two sheds form a triangular shape by adding an extra window section at the back and using a piece of plasticard to fill the gap between the roofs.

I lined the inside walls plastic stone sheet and added gutters and down pipes to the outside. I also added some beam structures to the inside roof. The painting was carried out in the usual methods I have previously described to give dirty stone look.

I haven't fully bedded it in yet because I would like to add some lighting and equipment to the inside.

 

Did it work? You tell me. I know I like it..

That is well done, any plans for roof in the middle? Should it angled in the middle or some sort of drainage system so "rain water" wouldnt collect there?

Yes I can see where your coming from, well I tried a few things with the roof and nothing looked right to me . the best look was to have it "flat" or rather believe there to be a slope towards the back for water to run off to drainage. So for now I will leave it until I see something to give me a better idea.

Quite convincing from some angles, the door hinges jar a bit, and I don't think any railway company would bother with windows in the rear of a shed that backs onto a high retaining wall.

I agree with the windows and the hinges, but it was only a "experience gaining" task so it may be replaced again at a later date ;)
