The Workshop and the inside out pump

[Ray Dunakin]

I like that rusty green, corrugated building! Definitely an interesting prototype.

Talking of rusty green corrugated buildings , here are a couple of shots of the old village hall(from behind) of the neighbouring hamlet to where I live . It is a split level building and access to the hall is from the other side .

My buildings a village hall too - was this the thing to do build them out of tin ? has anybody got photos of anything simular to this type of building to add to my thoughts list for a small workshop

Here's a site with some you may like, there are a couple I have thought about as small one offs

If you search corrugated iron, have a look at some of the Australian sites they have great examples but the weathering is obviously completely different

Really nice prototype pictures! Footprint sounds small for all that equipment but I´m sure you have it all figured out.

Barney ,

  Whilst I am by no means sure about what I am saying , I think many of these village halls date from after the First World War and were probably bought "mail order" and delivered by train in kit form . This was also the case for many small parish churches , known as "Tin Tabernacles" , most of which are no longer in use . Here is the website , www.tintabernacles.com that is the one to look at . There was one about ten miles from me that has been turned into a house . Well , I say turned into a house , what I mean is all the nice bits , like windows and barge boards have been incorporated into the new structure , but the rest has been removed . Fortunately I took some pictures of it before it was ruined . The challenge for me will be to find them !

Barney, beautiful work on the machinery, I admire your clean workmanship with the styrene. Could you give some information about the crank wheels and various handles and such?

regards Michael

Michael - Hand wheels are steering wheels(from the scrap box) and photo etch from kits in various scales (if it looks right use it) the PE ones I think are for HO&O scales from Wizard Models but make nice small hand wheels for larger scales I have found some nice wheels in Some of the 1/35th Artillery Gun kits and also gearboxes and gears in these kits that I have collected over the years - the lever controls I use brass hand rail knobs in various sizes & scales with a small bit of brass wire glued in place and cut to the length required .The ABER-PE German width poles I also use for levers and can also be used as gear levers they are nice and fine -I tend to under scale components to give them the finer look.Other components I have used are from Grandt Line brake wheels and Precision Scale hand wheels and valves

That "red" one looks suspiciously like an Airfix one!!!!!!!!!

[Mr scratchmod]

Was wondering the same, now I know and will start collecting hand wheels  I've bookmarked this thread for future ref when I do decide to do some machinery. Looking forward to more.

Airfix -how did that get in there  ?

Love those green corrugated buildings. Thanks for posting them.


Thanks also for the PE hand-wheel resource. Just ordered a bunch from them.
