LSWR No. 1 Goods Shed - Part 1

My next card kit project is the LSWR No. 1 Goods Shed, designed for the North Cornwall Line by the LSWR consulting engineer W.R. Galbraith. The design was also used for the goods shed at Corfe Castle station, built in 1895. No surprise when you learn that Galbraith was appointed for overseeing the construction of the Swanage Branchline. It is the Corfe version of the shed that will be the basis for the model.

Apart from photographs there are two plans that I shall use. The first is from Robert Antell's book Southern Country Stations: 1  London & South Western Railway and the second is a plan of the North Cornwall shed that is available from the web. Whilst the latter text is illegible it has very good diagrams of the interior arrangements. This will hep me to include a detailed interior for the model.

To Part 2.
