They look good ! I always wonder what the actual dimensions a coal staithe of this size is ? There seems to be a lot of different methods in construction, from horizontal timbers (as yours) to verticle sleeper style, with step down ends on the road/yard side. I guess it comes down to poetic licence !! No matter how many layouts I look at, there are many variations of these simple structures.

What (in scale feet) are the 1. height of bays, 2. width of th bays & 3. the overal length ??

 

Cheers, Gary.

I'm sorry to say that I'm going to have to steal your idea! I promise not to pass it off as my own. They really look the bees knees.

Oh this is superb! I shall have to steal this idea too.. Now, where's the nearest McCoffee stirrer emporium?...

Hi, very interested in this as I have thought of using stirrers as material. How do the start he’s look now? Did you ever finish them off?
