bescotbeast Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hi Simon, They were originally made by Roger Murray, whose business has now been taken over by Matt Turner of Absolute Aspects. Cheers Dave Thanks for the reply Dave, I'll have a look at what they offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thames 611 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hello, Another great layout, love the pics, a bit of diesel smog and you'd think they were real. Great work and have enjoyed catching up. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hi folks, Just thought I'd post some pics of the depot building, which is now nearing completion. I've added an internal structure and a little more weathering, along with the signs. I've ordered some lights from Express Models and there's some more guttering to do and a little touching up, but other than that it's not far off finished. The signs are taken from photos of the real building, pasted onto plastic card and then stuck on the building using blue-tak. That way they can be changed easily, as the real signs changed quite a lot through the 80s. Once the finishing touches have been done on this building, it will be straight on to the next one. One building down, four to go, plus a hut! Cheers for now, Dave 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongRail Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Dave the limited clearance signs look too high they are for depot staff so would be much lower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Possibly fractionally Gary, but not by much... https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=haymarket+depot&espv=2&biw=1097&bih=568&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CCYQsARqFQoTCNvgxfnA1ccCFYan2wodyXsA6w#imgrc=7yyQQkz8x4b1FM%3A These ones seem unusually high for some reason.

Grimleygrid Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 HST power cars looked good in that livery, nice work. Lovely IS Inter-City ScotRail 47, another nice Scottish Brush. I do like the building Dave, great work as always. Looking forward to seeing the next one. By the way, those IS duffs don't half get about, I see 461 was at Boxenby at the weekend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waverley West Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hi Gary, Are you meaning that the signs shouldn't cover the corner cladding on the left-hand side? Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted September 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2, 2015 You will probably find that your shed isn't limited clearance at all. Most sheds aren't, although on today's railway seems to have limited clearance or no refuges all over the place, they seem to be to modern managers like yellow shunting discs are to preserved railway s and t men!

LongRail Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Dave I was referring to the height they are higher than you would expect and I think you have them a bit too high I think they would look better a bit lower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold russ p Posted September 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 2, 2015 Here's a picture of a door at Thornaby, they didn't have them as there was sufficient clearance walk through even with a loco there. This is the more common arrangement https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5096/5520609953_a6e499567c_o_d.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6775 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) They could well be higher than you'd expect as they may be for drivers rather than those on the ground. Drivers have been known to hit their heads when leaning out of windows............ Meant to say, Building 1 is looking ace!!

MRDBLUE17 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Hi Dave, The building looks great and I like the latest models out in the cumbrian sunshine. Those 47's really look the part. I have one to do as the enterprising scot at some point as I saw it at Poole when I was younger when it was based at reading. Might need you to weather it like your models so it looks the part. Good luck with the run. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Hi folks, Just a quick pitstop update. The first depot shed is now basically complete. Downpipes have been fitted and lights have been installed and it's pretty much ready for planting on the layout. The exterior lights are Express Models wall lights while the interior lights are two LED strips, again from Express Models. I'm looking forward to placing it on the layout, switching the lights on for the first time and putting some shed "furniture" inside. There isn't as much detail on this side of the shed, as much of it will be hidden by the adjacent shed... All signs are only stuck on with blue-tak so that they can be changed and moved around for different eras from the late 70s through to the late 80s. One down, five buildings plus a small shed to go. Right, on with the next one now! Cheers for now,Dave PS Gary - have lowered the restricted clearance signs a little, but they do need to be higher than usual I think.

Waverley West Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Well, there's no stopping me now. Depot shed no. 2 begins to take shape... Due to space constraints, this building has had to be reduced from a 3-road shed to a 2-road one in model form. Otherwise, I've tried to keep the character of the original shed as much as possible. Selective compression is the name of the game. Cheers Dave Edited September 8, 2015 by Waverley West 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimleygrid Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 This is for you Dave! At this rate your depot will be finished long before mine, slow down please! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Harvey Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Dave For a little security it may be a good idea to fix a couple of strips of foam on the back wall as a sort of buffer to protect the models as they are driven in to the shed? Very nice simple construction and looks the part. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
