One of the areas of Claywell that hasn't progressed much is the loco depot as I've been stuck for ideas. 



I've got a a working Fleischmann turntable but due to space restrictions there is not a lot of room for a roundhouse and I've been stumped at what to do but today I came across this picture of Guildford Shed, it's exactly what I'm looking for, offset to one side with a fan of tracks, image is from the Guildford Museum website so thanks for sharing. 





Seems that this together with a scratch built Bampton station are going to be my winter projects.   

There is another (smaller) one with a similar overall configuration at St Blazey (Cornwall) - googling "st blazey engine shed pictures" brings up some pictures.

Here I go again.... Peter Denny managed to squeeze a small roundhouse into the corner at Buckingham on his legendary layout.

How about this one :

Sadly I don't have a picture, but today that engine shed at Guildford is a very fancy multi level car park. Built of brick, it has windows and a roof. At first glance it looks very much like an unfinished hotel or new office block.
Perhaps someone has a photo they could put on the thread?

Yeah, been like that for 15 years I know of, probably longer ...

Looked at the photo & went "they destroyed that for a  multistorey    " ...

True, I recall them building it when working on the North Downs Reading Gatwick services, but still a fancy design for what, essentially, is a car park!

Managed to do a little more on the semi low relief roundhouse.  I printed out one of the pictures of the roundhouse I'd found on the web and used the interior part to add a little atmosphere to the low relief part of the shed.  Still got to finish the roof and vents, where does all the time go. 

Looking good, Caz
It's all these little details that add up to a quality layout.
