Hi all ! If there's another thread hiding somewhere about this please advise. If not I could do with some suggestions.....
I'm modelling Dinsdale, a BLT on the Great Dales Rlwy, an independent enclave in LMS-land. It's the summer of '39. The place is busy enough to justify 2 stopping goods daily. Other traffic: sheep (weekly market day at Barnstoneworth, other end of branch, is a biggie), a coal siding, as well as ins'n'outs for a small brewery conveniently just offf-stage .
My question: What buildings, huts & sheds would sit in such a yard? Starting with the obvious I've come up with the following so far:
Goods shed & office/cattle dock/weighbridge & office/lock-up store for thieveables (or would they lock stuff in the goods shed overnight?)/lamp store/WC? (it's a long walk to the signalbox karzy)/mess-hut?/store for shunting poles, shovels etc.... and would there be a night watchman employed?
So what have I missed? Also how many of the above would be purpose built vs old wagon bodies? And what other general crap would be lying about?
