Well after the station masters house I thought I would find some photo's of carriage sheds and build one to an LMS / GCR design to fit the area I am modelling.
What a task in the end I had to decide to freelance the model as I wanted it to cover 3 coaches minimum which means it needs to be 80cm long at least and cover 2 tracks (that's the number of carriage sidings to my station.

So armed with some basic ideas I cut out and glued 7cm high strips of card together lining front and back to prevent too much warping. then cut out 3cm windows at 1cm apart (yes I got 25 per side) but then I craftily decided to blank off half of them as if they had been filled in at a later date.

So as of tonight I have glued the sides and ends onto a frame at gutter height next is a set of skeletal roof trusses down the building and a roof that is more "glass" than slate.

The design is easy, the dimensions are too
Door opening width for 2 track must be a minimum of 92.5 mm (3 tracks it would be 125mm) track centres are 50mm for OO course scale and there must be 12.5mm from each track centre to the door edge,
The door opening must be a minimum height of 66mm.

Everything else is relative to how large you want to build the shed

I've stuck a quick mobile phone shot of the progress for your perusal

obviously it is short of Guttering, Window Sills (stone or brick ????hmm which) and the roof work to be done yet
