The essential items for all stations until recently was a goods shed. They were often accompanied by a loading gauge (Ref. 411) and cattle dock (Ref. 502).

Inside, dry goods were stored and transferred to road vehicles waiting at the loading platform.

The shed usually had a crane (Ref. 531) or hoist (Ref. 543) inside, pallets and sacks (Ref. 514) would often be seen stacked around the site waiting to be shipped.

The model represents a stone shed with sliding doors, loading bay & skylights

A good example of this type of goods shed can still be seen standing in Ross on Wye, long after the railway has disappeared.

Supplied with pre-coloured parts although painting and/or weathering can add realism (See the Pecoscene Weathering Powder range PS-360 - 365); glue is required to complete this model.

Size; 155mm x 170mm
