Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Chris, looks like your shed is going to arrive before mine.... What size is it, overall? I was a bit surprised when I found that a nominal 14 x 8 shed only gives me 13'6" x 7'6" maximum. You've managed to fit quite a lot into only 10 x 8, compared to my most recent plan.

Dr Gerbil-Fitters I know what you mean, mine, inside is 9'4" by 7'4" It should here on the 1st November. Here are a few photos of the shed Thankfully the monitor and desk are not included The layout will run above the lower window and cover the top window. Workbench will be in front of the windows with storage underneath and to the sides, There will be a work area along the back wall where I can build my exhibition layouts. I'm lucky because the door is in the corner and opens outwards, which allows me to use all four walls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you having a topping out ceremony?? my shed is postponed indefinitely, till the developer repairs the boundary wall - taken 5 years and still nothing done to prevent it falling down.

I shall have a little bottle of something to celebrate. My own little space, first time since I lost control of the garage (which wasn't very nice anyway) more than a decade ago. Sorry to hear about your shed saga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
long island jack Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Chris Don't forget room for the bar!!!!!!! Like the look of the new layout,think it's better with no runround, adds more intrest to the switching. Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted October 22, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2013 I agree about the bar. A continuous run would be useful though. Its one thing I miss for my HO / OO stock My shed plan is for putting up a high level (above windows) continuous non scenic run test track in OO/HO and N scale (with portable layout below)- maybe you could do trhat if you dont go for the continuous run option? Luckily the garage is warm and virtually all mine to use so its not so bad. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
