I should have said, the building is actually built 55’ and not 60’ long. The roof never adopted the clerestory venting and instead used the internal chute with chimneys, which is more obvious from the photos.

Hello Ade, You can also take measurements of the roof from Google Earth which is reasonbly accurate. I used Wills SSMP200, which although intended for 00, the courses are much more realistic in 0. The ends match quite well, and with a bit of filling and tweaking will improve the finish.

Hi Duncan, The original architectural drawings were available for purchase online, but the building was never constructed to them as they were based on broad gauge, the walls, roof and length of the actual finished building were modified. So I based on physical dimensions and photographs. I had the building constructed of laser cut 6mm and 3mm mdf which I produced on CAD and clad it inside and out with moulded stonework sheets and features that I modelled and 3D printed.

My first blush at this model as there's still a bit of titivation and weathering to be done. Note that the fire devil is slung from the jib as it slews under the water tank and above the coal stage.

Hello Ade, I saw that you were looking to shed some light on your shed surroundings, here is a photo I have of the staithe containing the loco ash next to the one you have modelled. The posts for the timbers here were bridge rails similar to those used in the cattle pens. I’ve seen that the L-shaped pipe on top of your shed can be seen slewed in different positions, presumably used by the engine to steam the water pumps? I finally got around to finish my engine shed a couple of months ago, if I get a moment I’ll put out some photos.

I have been out of the country for a week and have not been able to reply. Unfortunately I do not have the original lamp, but I do have a simailar and original Sugg's copper GWR gas lamp to suit. My plan is to finish the post in Stone's Nos 1 & 3

Current restoration the station lamp (Type No. 2) which stood outside the entrance to Malmesbury Railway Station. Auctioned off following the demolition of the station buildings in the late 1960’s. Overall height from the cast-in base to the top of the frog collar spigot 10‘-4”

There was actually a window on 3 elevations
