Barrow Road Update 4

I have spent some time assembling the front elevation of the shed but needed to wait to collect some amended parts - my fault - as I found a photograph showing an additional window by the office block. This window was only noticed when I enlarged a photograph of the shed interior - of course once observed it became very noticeable and I had to add it to the building.

 

The exterior view of this window is obscured partly by the office building itself and partly by the porch entrance to one of it's doorways.

York Modelmaking kindly provided some additional windows and mdf brick arches for the windows which I have fitted carefully. I took the opportunity to add an opening for the stores serving hatch and doorway to the front elevation.

 

Of course problems arise in pairs and I also noticed - again in another very recent photograph - that the rear elevation has another window and a doorway. See the window and doorway to the left of the pannier tank in the next photo courtesy of Patrick. Again the photos taken from the outside do not show either feature as they are obscured by the toilet block immediately in front of the window.

I am pleased with the results of my modifications and glad they appeared before I assembled the building. In modelling such photographs tend to appear afterwards.

The modifications can be seen in the above photograph.

 

As a taster here is part of the front with the brick overlays added.

That top photo is very atmospheric. Glad you got the info before it was all assembled:)

 

Looking at the front of the shed, it's a veritable cathedral to steam, isn't it? Not just built to function, but to look good too. Built at a time when stuff was built to last and to look the best it could...........and we knocked most of it down:rolleyes:

 

Here's a suggestion, having looked again and read what I've just written: have a look at the remaining pieces and check that they are symmetrical. If not, try and find some photos of the point that's not.;)

Looking good Rob! Excellent job by the brickies too on those extra door ways and window's!

 

It's amazing the progress of what seems like not time at all, I guess I have been a little pre-occupied of late though! Will have to make another site visit in the near future.

 

Best wishes

Good to see you can still view the blog...keep in touch... the front elevation is now fully coloured and will be laminated to the windows, glazing and interior after the weekend when I collect the new windows.

 

Best wishes,

 

Robin
