Alcanman Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I think the building you have seen is the small wagon repair depot at Thornaby. This is how it looked in Nov 2015 when I visited. In the foreground you can see the fuelling facilty. Here's a pic of the small layout I built based on Tees Yard WRD. Loads of more pics in my layout thread (below) Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bescotbeast Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 What strikes me most is the abundance of grass in a busy location, I wonder if they use Grass feed on it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcanman Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 This is how I remember Thornaby. My previous visit in 1981! Mal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach bogie Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Behind the building on both sides or the pics in previous posts, you can see grey railings. These are bridges over the 'Old River Tees' which provide the water for flourishing trees and bushes. Here is the shed under construction in October 2012.
