Getting Forks Creek right

17 December, 2008

Here's how far I've got plan wise. I found an image of the actual depot and there's some difference between the model ( based on Harry Brunk's drawing years ago) and the prototype. Harry must have done his "selective" compression on the plan as the real one is higher.

 

An idea  based on the Forks Creek Depot

 

 

I may just drop this down to a single storey or shorten the extension a little - it's a bit out of balance. I don't have a lot of room for the depot. It will sit between tracks. Styrene will be used for construction as the layout is not going to represent a "run down" operation but an active one that's just begun to slow down. The windows and doors are going to be from what I have left over from years ago (I dont think I can get Grandt Line stuff like this in the UK easily (if at all).
