One thing, a turntable as the only entrance to a shed was not favoured as if the turntable was out of action, so was the shed, and any loco ON shed.

 

Perhaps better to have the turntable BEHIND the shed, with a 3-way point feeding the shed. Most sheds also had two or three times as many lines for stabling OUTSIDE the shed, than in it.

Depending on your type of coaling stage, is there room for coal wagons to feed it?

The water and coaling, if possible, ought to be able to feed through: in one end, out of the other, so an engine waiting hasn't to wait elsewhere for one to go in, then come out.

 

Oh and the shed needs a headshunt.

 

Not criticisms, but just me being picky.

 

Try and look at some shed plans in print, there are LOADS of books with plans ranging from rough sketches to OS-type plans to dead scale.

 

Oh, and finally: the plan often changed according to which company BUILT the shed, each seemed to have a favoured plan.
