Following on from my last entry here are a few pictures of the roof trusses for the Workshop.

These are assembled in a jig to give the correct spacing for the trusses.

The Machine Shop is to the left of the building whilst the four road workshop is to the right

During the 1950's only two of the loco turntables, which gave access to the workshop, remained in use - roads 2 and 4. I have made these doors operational whilst the other two are closed. Road 4 will need to be filled in as I am reliably informed it held the wheel lathe and did not have a pit.

 

Happy Christmas and New Year to you all.

Quality workmanship.  How long has it taken you to make those wonderful trusses?  This is going to look gob-smacking when finished.  Congratulations on seeing it through to the end and I am very much looking forward to the next post.
