Engine Shed Advices

[theamrmodelrailway]

Hi Everyone!

 

I hope you're having a good start to the week. I wanted to ask a question about engine sheds, hard standings, non hard standings...

 

I'm recreating (on a much smaller scale) these engine sheds, and as far as i knew, engine sheds were hard standing. These illustrated seem not to be... (which, i appreciate, are drawings that were not known for their accuracy). 

 

So I wondered if anyone here had some good information about the scenics 'surrounding' the engine sheds, the dirt, the tracks, and so on... i have had a look through this site but there is alot of content! (in the meantime, i'll keep looking...)

 

best

Mark

Hi Mark,

I hope this helps, there are 4 tracks from the gates of the enclosure to about 10 feet (3m) short of the depot doors. This small area is concreted.

The depot also services locos daily.
