Psiborg Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Looks OK to me, you need to allow extra height if you are thinking of having a crane or jacks in the shed... Here's one I made earlier! (2009 to be exact) Simon 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted July 31, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 31, 2017 It's very rare for a train to split on Llanbourne. Unless I have set the points wrong, and that does happen. Ooeerrrr Missus! Anyone else remember this, posted not far back in this very thread ..... P.C.M said:I got 100% on my shunter's exam 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I think you have the height about right. Building tend to be big and as there may be a requirement to get to the top roof area as well as servicing gear the height might come in handy for the fitters!

(2009 to be exact) 010.jpg Simon Thanks Simon, Nice shed by the way. I was looking at more depot/ shed pics last night and as you say the height looks about right. My shed will only be for light servicing but I am sure most sheds would have been a similar height. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.C.M Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 I don't normally put up pics of the Aussie stuff on this thread but some of you might like this. The local steel train though probably not that local as it's a 25 minute drive. Anyway normally double headed the other day saw 4 loco's due a failure. In the end this train left a lot later and the front loco was shunted back to be the second loco. X44 BL34 XR558 and G541 wait to leave Long Island Jct.

Funny you say that I have never seen it either but 4 went up a few weeks back then a few days after that an XR BL and G went up. The X class worked down again on Friday too. Cheers Peter.

RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted August 18, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 18, 2017 Very nice photos again, I like the Sprinter & 108 'old meets new' in the last one. I only just noticed that you manage to still have bufferbeam pipes etc in place with Kadees. Can I ask what you minimum curve is as i'd like to know whether Kadees would work on my planned layout with 30" curves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A layout that keeps me inspired, All the best, Mark Thanks Mark, Glad it keeps you inspired I have a few layout threads I like to visit for a bit of inspiration. The 150 has an old Howes sound chip in it but it sounds quite good. Cheers Peter. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask what you minimum curve is as i'd like to know whether Kadees would work on my planned layout with 30" curves. Hi Rich, The Kadee's are attached to the chassis and not the bogie. This does limit the minimum curve. The curve in the tunnel on Llanbourne is tighter than 30". I did play around with how far out to set the Kadee so they don't get buffer lock. I will take a few pics over the weekend and hopefully it will explain what I have done. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Ramblin Rich Posted August 18, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 18, 2017 Thanks Peter. I didn't expect an answer so soon! Knowing that your minimum is less than 30" is helpful in itself. Pictures would be good but please don't worry if you don't have time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Hi Peter, just catching up on your thread. That ED Brush looks superb in the shed! I agree with previous posts and feel that the height looks fine. Here is a photo of a Grid outside my shed to give you an idea of the height; Untitled by AP474, on Flickr 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have time Sunday so no problem. Cheers Peter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny you know I was just replying to a PM and the subject of your transfers came up another happy customer so don't worry. I dropped into my mates tonight to tweek the shed but I should have something to show in a week or two. Cheers Peter. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
