The two road locomotive shed and works at Carndonagh is five feet six inches long (1.65m, 110 scale feet) but only the front ten scale feet is modelled; the shed lines run off stage through the backscene and under a raised storage area in the real world workshop. The modelled part of the loco shed is therefore only a short low relief structure.
The basic framework was made from Filcris recycled plastic topped with gables made from offcuts of OSB timber. A false roof was added made from some old plastic signs, the interior wall that is visible from the normal viewing angle was detailed with embossed planked Plastikard and Evergreen plastic strip framing. A window and roof vent were salvaged from the now ruined single road shed at Culdaff.
The exterior was clad in scale size sheets of corrugated aluminium and then painted matt black, the interior was painted in a dull brown shade. A set of fire irons were hung on the framing inside the entrance. The shed should really have some doors but I think these will get in the way in what is a confined space, maybe one day I will add some.
