A loco shed

Other than the station, the other major railway building is the locoshed, it is a simple single road wooden shed that was rebuilt from a very old Pola kit 
 
 
 
The locoshed has a small coaling stage and corrugated iron flammable store.
 
 
The corrugated iron flammable store will be replaced with a better HO version.
 
 
Details such as a water tap outside the locoshed
 

The water crane is a Spitzner type, copied from the example that once stood at Kempten, Bad Neustadt and similar to the one at Miltenberg

98 812 receives water in the morning at Bad Neustadt station to be prepared for the next (return) trip to Königshofen, on 01.07.1968.
 
Older style, unknown location, possibly Endorf
 
 Some inspiration was gatherered from the old loco shed at Kößlarn as that branchline shared many features with other Bayerische nebenbahnen. The loco shed was at the opposite end of the station yard and was surrounded on three sides by long grass, it still survives despite being abandoned by the DB.
