Ratio OO 534 Stone Goods Shed

Ratio OO 534 Stone Goods Shed

The essential items for all stations until recently was a goods shed. Inside, dry goods were stored and transhipped from road to rail via the internal platform. The shed usually had a crane (Ref 531) or hoist (Ref 543) inside, whilst pallets and sacks (Ref 514) would be seen stacked around the site. 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; glue is required to complete this model. Footprint 155mm x 170mm
