The first photo shows scratch-built parts for the carriage shed. On the right is one of the A-frames, towards the top is a side panel drying, and below that are cut wood ready to build more sections.
Cutting strip wood to size is made much easier using a mitre box that allows accurate and repeatable square and 45-degree cuts to be made. This one is from the X-acto range No. 75330; recommended.
Here's a view of the first two modules of the carriage shed partly built. The A-frames are connected by side panels. They look much better once the roof is on. Each section is 7 inches long, and there will be five units when the whole shed is completed. In the foreground are a run of Copper Craft wagons, slate and coal. On the shed road are the Corris wagon, the flat wagon and the iron-sided wagon.
This last view shows the first three modules in place. The front shed now has a plasticard roof, which will eventually be covered by individually cut slates. The wood has been stained to deepen the color. There are now four modules in place, with the fifth and final one under construction.
