Recommended Posts

I decided to remodel my Engine shed making it longer and adding an office area on the side and a toilet out the back. I used a couple of Faller HO train shed models as inspiration.

The extra length inside allows for my NMBS class 77 locos to fit inside easily.

The all important facilities for the workers out the back.

That looks fantastic! The original was impressive, but the office and facilities are great additions.

Do you have plans to extend it further?

Thanks for sharing it with us!

Very very nice. The brick bricks look really good. I love the new additions and all the exquisite details.

Only problem is that I'm building a two road loco shed myself at the moment and after seeing your beautiful loco shed I feel like putting my one in the bin :blush:

Thanks for the comments guys. Yes I am expanding it as there is other sections such as a diesel fueling station, signal box, factory complex and houses etc, all a massive WIP that is unfortunatley coming together slowly as I have precious little time to work on it lately.

I thought the first one was good but this is even better. I do like the old fashion toilet, looks like a hideout for many a spider to catch the unwary toiletier! All the details are great, the trees, the doors, the spare wheels, how often have I past empty sidings apart from having a couple of axles and wheels in them? Why do they get left there I wonder, but they so often do?

Its things like this that make me want a purpose made layout area, that way I could add this sort of detail (not a nice I am sure), what the approx number of the brick bricks used?

Its got just over 900 of the brick bricks in it. Ive been spending all my money on bricklink orders lately and have not been buying sets :cry_sad:

900?!? Holy mercaptans! So I guess that means I won't make a train shed out of those bricks :tongue:.

It's actually quite scary as to how many bricks a two road engine shed will absorb. I'm building one at the moment and have already had to order in more bricks because I'd under estimated just how many I would need.
