Just thought while l was building the station building and signal box for AndrewPs 'Trebudoc' l would make a start on the building's for my own proposed 0'gauge southern country terminus, in the late 50's, and have a break from building locomotive's.

 

So a start has been made with the loco shed, it is only a small single road shed, only small tank engine's being serviced, coaled and watered, with possibly a small inspection pit just inside, also l will put a water tank on top of small out house on one side of the shed and a mess/stores room on the other,

 

It will be the first time l have ever built a layout in O' gauge, l must say that l have been inspired by andy's Trebudoc, l'm hoping that when l have finished the building's for Andy he will come up north and do all the scenic's on 'Abbot's Mead'.

 

The plan behind the layout, is that there is an abbey about a mile from the station, and the abbot's bring on horse and cart the Mead they have made in the abbey in big barrel's, to sell to other abbey's in the london area, and so need to transport the mead by train once a week.

 

Passenger service's will consist of a push-pull one coach train, with '02' or 'M7' providing the power, and a light good's train once a day, but that's a long way off just yet.
