910033 Old Engine Shed Modifications Thread

[SerperiorBricks]

I've been seeing some struggles online with the Old Engine Shed and integrating with LEGO track (though I'm sure most on this forum would be aware of these solutions)
 

RobinHood Bricks extends the ballast out a few studs, though this introduces a 1 stud offset- fine for a loose layout but not in a more structured one.

 

I shifted the tracks back one piece. All I needed was a replacement for the 6x8 plate below the rail, I opted for a 1x8 and 4x8 plate. 

Inside the shed, it just required replacing a 1x6 tile with a 1x4. Though OSHA might have some complaints. 

This should allow for the most versatility, and allows for use of a Trix Brix adapter piece too

(of course, that option needs a tad more modification of plates, but sliding that 3d printed part under the rail will make it fit properly, I just didn't want to bother at the moment)

And all it took was pulling out a 1x8 plate on the siding. Over all, I don't think the fuss it's been getting about it being 'incompatible' is warranted. Separate rails have their trade-offs, and having the bay underneath makes the most sense for this model.

 

And adding engines to the scene definitely improves the display!

(Oops - made a mistake on the sticker placement when I was trying to make it square. Though I didn't realize I placed it in the wrong orientation.)

As I said on Flickr, I never understood the placement of the clock. It makes no sense to put it there like they did... It seems like it would always hit engines, no matter the orientation. But your MODs look good @SerperiorBricks!

I fixed this issue with my own build by placing the rails used in the shed on jumpers, this way you can correct the gap between the 2. It works really well and you hardly notice it. If anyone would like I van make a picture of it to show it.

Did you adapt the original or did this by yourself?

Since you can't buy the stickers anywhere, I can say with 100% certainty he has the original, and adapted it.
