Stourpayne Marshall - goods store
As seen below, there's an area of raised platform to the left of the station building that was notionally going to be a loading dock:
After living with it for a while, I decided that I wanted something else occupying this space, in line with the parcels store at the real Shillingstone. Unfortunately I missed the boat with the Bachmann nodel of this structure (and they seem to be very scarce on ebay) so I decided to build something of my own.
The basis for this wooden shed is the Wills goods store, but shorn of its wooden supports and with the sides and ends reworked to give a bit of individuality. Of course it's highly unlikely that there'd be an intact pair of S&DJR station notice boards in BR days, but, it's my trainset etc!
,
A door was added in the the end face below, and a window removed. A safety rail was added to prevent mishaps around the low wall. The signs on the metal fence are also S&D notices from the Roger Smith pack.
There's no rail access to and from the shed, so it's presumed it's just used as a store for station supplies and deliveries, before being loaded via the main goods shed, or taken away by lorry. The side facing the siding, below, was replaced by a single sheet of Evergreen plastic, a reasonable match for the Wills mouldings, and the two redundant windows from the ends were used here instead. The building was painted in Railmatch light stone and Humbrol mid green 101. The station building's fittings will soon get similar treatment.
The LSWR trolleys are from Shire Scenes, and the etches include some nice platform benches which I'm in the process of making. I added a few weedy scraps of grass around the base of the shed on the siding side, but I'm not quite happy with them so they'll be reworked to something a bit more understated. Some manner of buffer stop will also be added.
cheers!
