009 engine shed

I thought a few bits just inside the door would stop the eye looking any further. Literally bits from the bottom of the tobacco tin. Including a couple of John Homer's home cast oil drums.

With the shed dumped on top. This has got it off the shelf where it's been for three or more years. Built for the NG book but with no home. Though since then Bachmann have presented something very similar. I couldn't possibly comment... well only about the door framing anyway. Which one is correct?

  1. Yours is. The bottom of the diagonal braces should always be on the hinge side. That way they are in compression and stop the joints working loose over time.

  2. Whilst the above. Is correct there are plenty of examples of doors and gates being hung the wrong way round, especially with square cut tops (opposed to arched tops) as builders/workmen don’t always take this into account when fixing the doors.
