KNP Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) I know who did it...... My Grandson when he was with me just prior to the lockdown managed to derail one of the Panniers (neither has owned up to it when questioned at the time!!!) and kept it rolling until it hit the shed and took the door off. Found out the other day when they came around and we all sat in the garden for high tea....! So the red cow is of the hook - for now.

ed1234 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Prototype question re the engine shed: what is the little 'roof' above the centre of the doors for? I assume to provide a bit of extra height to allow chimneys etc. to pass through (you see a similar thing on the doors to some aircraft hangars). But why did they not just build the door a little taller? Edited July 22, 2020 by ed1234 Goods shed, what goods shed? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNP Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) Slightly out of sequence but then this how i take them as an idea pops into my head.

But why did they not just build the door a little taller? I suspect you might mean the engine shed rather than the goods shed. Not all sheds had the little addition on the front, but where they were provided, it was an outer extension of the cowl that ran the length of the shed to take smoke out of the building. The overall roof at Henley on Thames also had the cowls and although provided they were not that effective at the outer ends; (I guess the exception being a windy day); drivers would try and stop with their chimney under the roof vent so the smoke went straight out. Rather than rely on the cowl. I suspect in the engine shed, they wouldn't be that fussy and a combination of not always practical.

But why did they not just build the door a little taller? Quite a few engine sheds have them, I must confess normally larger ones but there are pictures in my GWR Architecture book of them at Swindon, Reading, Basingstoke. So I just copied the idea and stuck it on my shed 10 odd years ago.... Edited July 22, 2020 by KNP 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you said, I would not have noticed! Another lazy summers day at Little Muddle. I hope those fitters are better at their craft than those loaders at the dock....

Bluemonkey presents.... Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I have always thought it was something to do with the deflection of smoke, ash and embers potentially catching the planking and causing fire or quick erosion of the frontage but I must confess I have never looked into it. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Harlequin Posted July 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) I tried my ageing technique on the colour scenery photo above but it didn't work. Don't really understand why - it just never looked right no matter what I did. So I went back and tried it on one of my favourites of your recent photos. Hope you don't mind: Edit: Changed date to '38, as per messages below. Edited July 22, 2020 by Harlequin 11 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
