RMweb Gold Popular Post chuffinghell Posted March 24, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Well it arrived And I couldn’t resist having a mess about, first to see if my roof truss assembly fitted, which it did after a bit of light sanding and gentle persuasion And then had a look to see how it would fit on the layout Yes I know it looks cramped but it would have been much worse with the Ratio Good Shed kit, luckily the mechanical horses were designed to have a very small turning circle I'll be working at my normal snails pace Edited March 24, 2021 by chuffinghell Poor smelling corrected 19 7 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I think that it looks great, a proper goods shed does dominate the rest of the yard and there's no way of knowing how much of the non railway side of the yard exists off stage. Also it would have been designed for horse drawn carts. I'm looking forward to seeing this scene develop. Good to see you don't have any forklift pallets lying around, that's way worse than buses on bridges! 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Graham T Posted March 24, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 24, 2021 Looking very good. Don't know why it takes you so long to finish things though; surely a lick of paint and it's finished? 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be able move it along a little, in this case the whole of the yard is visible so perhaps it was much bigger before the road came along and it was scaled down due goods being taken off the railway and moved by road? Funnily enough I did look into when pallets and when they were first used, I decided they looked too modern 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I did look into when pallets and when they were first used, I decided they looked too modern It's bang on where it is, the road and obviously the landscape into which it is cut would have been there long before the railway or canal,so the goods yard fits in the available space. Very little in the way of palletised goods in civilian circles until after WW2. I was admiring a beautifully well modelled prewar rural station recently, the only thing that jarred was the number of pallets in the goods yard. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted March 25, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2021 I’ve applied the first coat of grey primer, once dry I’ll go over it to clear up any details that need it and give it a second coat. The first coat has picked out some of the details and also highlighted some areas that need a little fettling, particularly around the window arch areas After much thought I’ve decided to paint the inside an off white but I’ll leave that until I’ve finished the outside 7 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that’s true but it’s going to take a little longer using that crane to lift the roof assembly into place 5 minutes ago, MrWolf said: ....is that a coat of scruffy whitewash inside it? It’s just overspray from airbrushing on the primer I’m going to brush paint the inside with Vallejo ‘off white’ 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
