Old Train Engine Shed

The Old Train Engine Shed never shuts down and there is always much work to be done! James and Julia have just arrived on a draisine. James is on duty tonight waiting patiently for the next planned arrival. One shift follows the other and tonight a big locomotive will appear shortly for its routine maintenance after a long journey.

Inside the Shed, Robert is hard at work, cutting up wire. Julia is making sure all lanterns work properly and Frank is servicing the old lathe.

Andrea is on a coffee break in the little shack. At the rear, Sam is feeding Oscar, his beautiful and lawful Alsatian dog. Oscar is tasked with guarding the gate, so you better think twice before entering uninvited!

The Old Train Engine Shed is built with masonry bricks and features 6 large windows and 2 large doors, which allow the locomotives to enter and leave freely. Two big chimneys and a fan are used for ventilation.

Inside the shed there is a fully equipped workshop. The large variety of machinery and tools included are: an old lathe, a vice, a bench drill press, an oxyacetylene welder, mallets, hammers and many more useful hardware.

At the very top of the building, and just below the roof, a fully working overhead crane can be used to lift and move the heavy engines of the locomotives. At the front of the shed, a pump supplies the engines with water and finally on the rear, there is a little shack with a small office and a stove.

The Old Train Engine Shed can accommodate a train engine up to 37 studs long, whilst its wagon can pull up at the front tracks. All and all, exactly 2331 parts were used.

6 Minifigures included.
