Progress at last,

Having been suitably inspired visiting Clutton last night, I have spent an hour this morning at the airport awaiting a flight up to Broughton on CAD working on a set of drawings of Cheddar's goods shed.

So far this is only based on photos from one book, (given that was the only one I had scanned photos of) As such there are a couple of areas that require further attention. the village side has two arches based on the end arches as the only photo I have of this side is in the other book, I will rectify this at the weekend.

The railway side is wrong, I just cant get the spacing right. This leads me to believe that I have got the window size wrong.

What I really need is a photo showing the railway side of the goods shed square on that I can scale off.

Length and width were taken from a Planning Portal map and double checked against dimensions from Google Earth and Bing maps.

Now I have the basic plan (subject to the aforementioned changes to the windows etc) I now need to start planning how I am going to build it.

I want to have a fully detailed inside with both end doors open, along with at least one open loading door. my thinking is to go with a wood core clad on both sides with an appropriate embossed plasticard. the roof would also be thin wood clad in laser cut tiles (i suspect that I will need to draw them up given the fancy design). The complicated rodding under the roof will be soldered up from brass rod (and should prove good practice for the station roof.

All of this would be new practice for me and a departure from my usual style of an 80thou plastic core, Its my hope that it should make for a strong structure that will not warp without the requirement for lots of cross bracing inside. Another thing I am debating is getting the wood core laser cut to ensure accuracy, just need to look into the costs.
