Fochriw Station Good Shed

Post by Timber »

Hi All - I am just starting to build an S Scale model of Fochriw Station. Would anyone have or know where i can get hold of photos or drawings of the Goods Shed and / or back of the station building. I have (I think) all the available books etc but none of them actually have a clear photo of the Goods Shed.

Sorry I should add that there is a photo of part of the front of the shed on page 53 of the Pen and Sword Bargoed to Pontsticill (superb book) but it is difficult to unpick the rest of the structure. If it was similar to other structures at other locations on the B&M then that may be useful info......

Thanks in advance.

The best photograph I have of the goods shed in Fochrhiw is the Lens of Sutton, one that is published in volume two of the recent Pen and Sword history. It appears to be very similar to the one at New Tredegar (if that is any help at all). Scaling off the 25" map the dimensions would appear to be approx. 30‘ x 24‘.

Cheers

The B&MR shed at Brecon would appear to be the same style so that may help.
