Hello,
I thought you may be interested in this photo of my dad's Standard 5 sat on the turntable on his under construction End of Steam railway that runs around our attic, the computer monitor is even on top of a double track, double level under construction tunnel, if I remember I shall try and get a few more photos tomorrow, showing the shed area.

This is near the entrance to the shed from the balloon loop, the balloon loop is situated below the station (under construction), anything that derails in the far most corner requires a rescue loco, although our trains are so long they are reachable most of the time.
The Heljan class 47 has currently taken the place of my favourite loco, seen here on a 9 carr train.
The sheds and the embankment, the embankment comes off the station.
And from the other end, note the length of the passenger train and add an extra coach at the back.
The Ivatt tank, this location I think is the on shed road, this photo was taken about half a year ago.
He's also got a Black 5 and a 4P and I've got a Q1, wrong area though, this is Northern. I haven't included hany photos of the station are because it currently is just mountains of stuff, perhaps hill is the right word they're only about double the height of the locos!
