Fort William Engine Shed

Hi all,

 

I'm currently sketching out a scheme for a 1938-40ish layout based on Fort William Engine shed & Goods yard for one end of my loft ( roughly 8ft wide)

I've found a decent 1948 aerial shot too but was just wondering if anyone had any other details from the LNER days.

 

I've found a few pics here & there but none of the original turntable from this era. Could it have been a similar one to the 50 footer at Crianlarich?

 

I do know a new 70ft Cowans one was installed in 1948 (which now resides at Kidderminster apparently).

 

Cheers

Have you seen the latest Railway Bylines magazine - Sept 2012 - edition which has a 10 page article on the shed - only Part 1 as well :O
