Ben Alder Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 I had to search this thread out for a reference, which wasn't easy, so might as well bump it while I have it to hand..... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hongkongmike Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 hi there, this may be a long shot, but I'm wondering if you managed to take any pictures showing the offices or other parts of the shed infrastructure. I am currently building a 4mm model of Ferryhill (I am an ex Aberdonian now living in NZ). Here's a link to a recent article i had published in the local Aberdeen newspaper. I also visited 61B regularly, and was an engineering student at RGIT from 1974 to 1978. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/nostalgia/2443090/aberdeens-amazing-lost-ferryhill-train-sheds-reborn-in-miniature-on-the-far-side-of-the-world/ best regards, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Alder Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Unfortunately not - poor student and expensive film meant I couldn't record nearly as much as I wanted to and never thought about the architecture of the place. Interesting article - you should start a thread on it here - that might flush out some info. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hongkongmike Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Good thinking. It's amazing what you can find online...I am now in touch with another ex Aberdonian, who is living in the US. He is also (re) building a 4mm model of Ferryhill, and did manage to let me have a few shots of the buildings prior to demolition in 1991 or thereabouts. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
