No.8 The Superquick Engine Shed
Not so much ballasting more a bit of history:
My old Superquick engine shed in its latest position - a rare
picture with no engines.
The shed dates back to the early 1980s and my Bracken Ridge
Layout. It was part of a pair of sheds
which were customised to fit my track spacing.
The sheds were made narrower.
This was achieved by separating the gable ends from the walls. If you look carefully you can see where the
brick arch from across the entrance was separated from the rest of the gable
wall to enable the new narrower gable to be lowered back onto the side walls.
Another scanned image from the past with Airfix Castles, a
Lima Crab and some Mainline ex GWR and LMR types. There is also a Hornby Dublo 8F which lives
on with handrails and tender 'borrowed' from an old Mainline 'Scot'.
The Bracken Ridge layout was never completed (as with so
many layouts) and everything was packed away and moved to Park View for yet another uncompleted
project:
Back to the present and the picture at the top of the page shows the sheds have had to be
separated and the coaling ramp has been abandoned!
