RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted December 31, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi, I wondered if anyone could help? I am looking for a drawing or source of photos for a small / medium goods shed, ideally with covered overloading platform, i.e. wagons / track running inside shed). Needs to be about 40ft long (approx 180mm in 4mm scale), although I am quite happy to compress / modify to suit requirements. Thanks in advance.

10800 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 If you can get hold of a copy of "The Cuckoo Line" (Wild Swan, OOP) there are some drawings at the back of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Chambers Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Not totally within your spec, but a good plan of a lovely building and with the advantage that you can go and have a look!(nice pubs in the village too!)Corfe Castle,"Southern Country Stations 1, London and South Western Railway", Robert Antell, Ian Allan, ISBN 711014205.Probably out of print but certainly seen on sale at exhibitions.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted January 1, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 1, 2011 At the risk of sounding pedantic (as if!) do you really want a Southern Railway shed - or one from a particular Pre-Grouping constituent? I'm not sure the SR actually built very many - if any, other than at "new" places like docks at Dover, Southampton, maybe. 10800 has pointed out an LBSCR example, Tim Chambers a LSWR type. Tell us the locale and someone might be able to get even closer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberdeenBill Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Thanks guys for your assistance / suggestions. I was looking for a LSWR version - should have been a bit clearer. Drawings and photos of Brockenhurst goods shed appeared in Railway Modeller in about 1970. Sorry to be vague. Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
corax67 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 There are a wide range of scale drawings available from the South Western Circle http://www.lswr.org/core.asp?Page=39&Id=687407 and I am sure if you are in doubt as to which may be most appropriate then a quick call after the holiday season will soon have you sorted. For a freebie, if you can find a copy, then there was a set of drawings in the March 1985 issue of Railway Modeller plus an article on modelling the same item. Possibly another RMWebber may have a copy they could help you out with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Belgian Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Drawings and photos of Brockenhurst goods shed appeared in Railway Modeller in about 1970. Sorry to be vague. Bill And it's still there, although it's now (or at least was a few years ago) a Pizza Restaurant - a very good one, so you can have a nice meal and see some of the features still visible inside (I think the crane is still in there). I doubt there ever was a "standard" LSWR goods shed, they all seem to be different. JE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmrspaul Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 A rather larger version here - Staines LSWR May give some inspiration. http://paulbartlettsotherrailwayphotos.fotopic.net/p63525023.html Paul Bartlett Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
