4mm Llanfair ....

I mentioned recently that the laser cut brickwork on the goods shed office needed attention, so yesterday I made a new office clad in Intentio brick cladding. It looked clunky and there was no point in going any further with it....



Raiding the spare buildings box produced an Intentio GCR weighbridge built a couple of years ago...


A new base was fitted and the building was adapted to fit the goods shed wall. A long chimney stack came from spares. Temporarily in position tonight for the photos...


The stack is clumsy, so I need to find something better....

Perhaps just a plain Stack Larry without the changes in size going up? the building looks great.

I think the chimney would look better either at the other end of the building, or flush with the main shed wall - being stand-alone but so close is what makes it look odd.

Larry, if you change the chimney stack, it would be worthwhile making the new one a bit taller so the pot is above the ridge of the main roof. Then the imaginary fire will draw better. Moving the stack as @Nick C suggests would improve the overall look too.

The goods office now has a deep set fireplace with the chimney built into the goods shed wall to give some heat to this building. Llanfyllin goods had a similar arrangement. The office still needs bedding in...



Luckily, I still had a 3D resin chimney stack to hand.....


The end result suits me. This photo reminds me I need to fit some lead flashing...!


The goods shed was only lightly glued down, so it was taken indoors and all the paintwork given a fresh coat of GWR Stone nos. 2 and 3. Again, the photo has reminded me the hinges need picking out...

Looks like a very economical solution and also that the office was part of the original planning and not an addition.

Once the water tank was removed from between the tracks, the space in between made no sense. This has now been attended to.
