That hut was used by the train crew & the shunters Trevor & Robin up till around EWS lost the stone contract to Freightliner in the early 2000's, shunter now when it runs comes on the train but as its hardly run in the passed year since Manchester Metrolink stone contract finished.
Around the time of your layout train crews use to change train crews at the Junction, with Junction men working the train into Pen sidings.
We use to have the TOPS print out for the train consist sent to us (at Llandudno Junction SB) on the old NTN printer, then relayed to shunter, as Pen Box had no Fax machine or TRUST till the last ten years.
P.S. I was also passed out on my rules by my old Block Inspector in 1985 in that hut before going to the box to be past out.
