A friend has just purchased a pre owned Bachmann four road engine shed, it hasn't been altered in any way, but his locomotives strike the inner moulded exhaust channels, has anyonyone else come across this problem

Does it have to be the 5152c or will any ho Fleischmann do, just asking as I can check if an aquaintance has a used one in his vast collection

A long shot I know but does anyone have any photos of a through goods shed that also includes drive through vehicular access for loading and off loading. I would like to attempt to scratchbuild one and am after ideas. I have scoured the net but no joy. Thanks in advance

I was thinking of giving this a go for use in my goods yard, has anyone tried this method.

Does anyone happen to know the thckness of the Peco platform tops. I have aquired a large number of platform edges and I would like to use plasticard for the surface which I intend to scribe, hence the need for the thickness required so I can buy the right size. Thanks in advance
