Not the best picture but this my take on one of the Great Eastern Railway station valances. This is cut out of 1mm MDF.

Many designs to think of, but the one that potentially could be a good diesel depot is the one done on my friend's layout Airthrey Park, Hornby even asked permission to copy it for their Skaledale range.
Works well as it has windows in the side. Other options are Inverness TMD (difficult as it is not brick) Eastfield Depot or one of the sheds at Haymarket, but the down side to these other ones are you cannot see the loco once it is inside.

Westbury Shed anyone?
Does it look right? I'll cut out later.

Well no one has feedback that it looks wrong so I've I've cut out a single bay prototype.
The glazing is missing and couple of other details including the roof otherwise this is it.

Second bay added and a roof.
The roof would not have the bottom frame on top of the sides if the glazing was present. On the prototype this allows the rain to run off.

Exciting stuff Phil! Looking for a double road shed but this might do for a diorama!

Thank Mike. You're not wrong but Westbury shed is built from prefab concrete and is constructed slightly different to a steel framed build. That's one of the reasons I thought this would be a good building to do as soon as I read Phill's suggestion.
