br2975 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 "A Pictorial Record of Great Western Architecture" by Adrian Vaughan, published by OPC would be as good a place to start as any. . Brian R 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mike_Walker Posted February 11, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2021 Great Western Journal 35, Summer 2000 has a reproduction of a Swindon drawing for a "GWR standard 6' x 6' corrugated iron hut" dated Feb 1904 if that's of use. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted February 12, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 12, 2021 GWR applied mathematics, advanced level. If a 70 foot coach is 69 1/2 feet long, how big is a 6 by 6 hut? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWR_Modeller Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Well you have to remember that US, metric, Imperial and Great Western sizes are all different so 6' by 6' in WSG is big enough by any other measure. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollibob Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 There is a book, An Illustrated Guide Of The Didcot, Newbury & Southampton Railway, (ISBN 0 906867 04 5), which has 2mm scale diagrams of Compton Station's parcel shed and Weigh house. Both standard GWR designs. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
