Great Western Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) I’m embarking on a very mini loco shed diorama in O gauge - the centre stage is a Timbertracks Great Western coal stage. Initially the thread will focus on its construction, then once our house move is complete the actual baseboards and so on.

Great Western Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) The first part of the build focuses on building up the internal base frame, where as part two is more concerned with adding the built up brick layers and detail.
