Tebay 4mm finescale layout - sold in 2004. The engine shed, code 11D (12H after May 1960), had an allocation of locomotives for banking heavy trains up Shap bank and for local trip freight. The shed building was in good condition having been rebuilt between 1948 and 1950. The 50’ turntable, 53’ with its extension rails in use, was long enough to turn the longest locomotives allocated to the shed, the 2-6-0 lvatt “Mucky Ducks”.Previous | NextTebay 4mm finescale layout - sold in 2004. Foremost in this view is Fowler 4MT 2-6-4T no.42396, a 1933 built variant with a side window cab of this 1927 designed class.

Seventy one houses were built for railway employees alongside the line and some of these could be seen overlooking the station. In quiet periods a closer look at the houses would spot the railwayman who had slept in.
