16mm project plans - need advice and inspiration
So I've been thinking about a little 16mm project to keep up my narrow gauge interest while I can't take Fen End Pit out. I don't mean to distract too much from the construction of Clare but just have something extra to work on when I fancy a change.
One of my favourite places to visit is the Thelkeld Quarry Museum and I have long thought that the engine shed is full of modelling potential but I've not been sure how I could use its inspiration.
What I have been thinking about is building a 'photo plank' which captures some of the Thelkeld building but I'm wondering about turning things inside out, looking at the interior as a basis for a scene. I fancy trying to capture some of the atmosphere of the workshop and clutter. I don't think this is Thelkeld but it is the kind of thing I'm after.
I also have a memory of the belt driven workshop at the back of the sheds at the Launceston steam railway.
So at the moment I'm thinking about trying to build a 'box' which represents the inside of the shed, along the back I make a variety of workshop tools, ideally belt driven, and a work bench. In front of that I have a line of track set in concrete which goes out of the door. Even though this isn't a big building it will be probably be something like 2'x1'..
So I'm searching for additional inspiration....
Anyone got any nice photos of belt driven workshops or ideas about the best way to layout a belt drive workshop?
Thanks
David
