More progress this afternoon with the front elevation of the sand dryer now complete. There are two 'I' girders above the window which I chose to fabricate from two pieces of brass section soldered together. The larger girder was cut and shaped from a piece of 4mm square section brass tube whilst the smaller one was cut from 3mm wide channel section.

 

Once finished the construction followed that of the end wall posted yesterday, with the only additional work required being the forming of the 90deg corners on the plinth and the single course of bricks.

Photographs of main line side of the dryer are rare but here is one to show what I am aiming to achieve.

This is just lovely. More photos please.

 

What will be the finished size of your model of Barrow Road?

 

The shed itself is 720mm x 670mm - not square on this model as the right hand side is to be sectioned for viewing purposes. The shed, together with the workshop and the out - buildings at the rear will fit on a board 4ft 1in x 2ft 2in, in old money. The sand dryer and office complex at the front will fit on adjoining boards.

 

More photos to follow this evening as I finished the front elevation yesterday.
