BTW, The OO looks nice as well. To be honest, it was your low level shots that put me in the notion of this plan. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks David, I do think that the low level shots really come to the fore in the Senior Scale, although I have done some in OO as well, but it doesn't always work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbo675 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hi David, The wheel lathe at Allerton certainly is contained within a separate building, it is the the building directly to the north of the bridge where the two lines cross: https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16&lat=53.35770&lon=-2.88515&layers=168&right=BingHyb Within the depot the pit roads run almost the full length of the inside of the shed from about twenty feet in from the doors. A Google search will turn up images of the inside of the shed. Gibbo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bell Posted October 21, 2020 Author Share Posted October 21, 2020 Thanks Gibbo. I did suspect the lathe was in a separate building. I will still include it in my shed for added interest. Cheers David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bell Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 I am hoping that being able to see locomotives through the windows of the back wall of the shed will add realism to the plan and give a sense that there is an outside. The plan allows for this at the right hand end of the shed. You should be able to see some of the stock in the fiddle yard area of the shed. Developing this idea further I did think of painting a locomotive on the backscene behind the windows of the left hand end of the shed. However I think that this might work better if the locomotive is modelled in low relief. So a rather unusual loco build, an 87 in ultra low relief. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwr Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 David I think I might be inclined to put a picture on the backscene of an 87 than build a low relief version! Paul R 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bell Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 It is a fair point. We will perhaps try that first! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bell Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 I was definitely over thinking this. The blindingly obvious has just become blindingly obvious! I will make the left hand boards slightly wider and put a further track behind the shed at this end. Doh! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Bell Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Look what's arrived in the post! All I need to do now is figure out how to build them inside out. Should not be too difficult. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bell Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 You may all be forgiven for thinking this had died a death, but no! I have taped together a few parts of the shed to see if this is going to give me the effect I am looking for and it looks promising I think. I had a great deal of trouble initially because the side wall parts were all very slightly warped so when I glued 4 panels together they would not sit square. I took them to bits and glued them separately to a wooden batten. That seemed to do the trick. There is a lot of work to do on the inside before I join it all together but I am happy with it so far.
