Adrian Well the older ones are known as Zeppelin Sheds, and I think those are commonly called Cardington Sheds. Al. 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipbadger Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 My father did part of his National Service in the sheds at Cardington. He used to recall how 'clouds' would form up in the roof when the weather conditions were right. Now how about a model railway with 'scale' weather :-) 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted July 7, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 7, 2021 These little things - actually 1:48 scale, i.e. US O Gauge - are built from Banta kits, so mainly wood. They are the speeder shed and the loos at Ophir, Colorado, on the Rio Grande Southern. The loos were, for most of their life, themselves underneath the cover of a much bigger shed, which was the receiving and processing station for ores coming over the mountain via an aerial ropeway. I have a scratchbuilt version of that but it needs a new roof. It's quite big. 8 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted July 7, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 7, 2021 You can just about see the loo shed in the middle of this pic, albeit with some corrugated iron thing in front of it. As I said, the shed above it is big! https://picclick.co.uk/Rio-Grande-Southern-RGS-Ophir-Station-with-DRGW-303622841203.html#&gid=1&pid=1 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would buy you a lot of trains though, they were a work of art in their day and will cost you just as much. It was only one of the cheapest bikes in the hoard too.

I have always liked the challenge of rebuilding a total wreck. In the past it was far easier to buy something for £300 and spend £3000 over a couple of years rebuilding it and far more educational. I could have taken out a loan and bought the same bike "restored" from a dealer, then not only having to make regular payments plus interest, whilst also finding money to go through the whole bike replacing parts that were worn, bodged or just plain wrong. The third option is to send the wreck to a specialist restorer, along with a cheque for about £15,000. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
