An easier way could be to use some of Scalescenes brick paper the painted brick looks good, if you print it onto a thick matt paper, then paint over the print with Matt acrylic varnish (both sides), it will produce a stiffer card that you can cut to shape and stick in place - glue sticks work well.

Been working on the roof today and while the roof was drying had a play with the main doors. I decided that one set of doors await repair while the other set have planks that have been replaced. The pictures show the methods I used.
I have used Scalscenes lime washed brick work on my loco shed and it looks excellent. Highly recommend it! The doors look great especially the distressed bottoms I'm going to have to try that! Cheers, Pete.
That is the engine shed 99% finished, just waiting on some square section tube to finish the chimneys. It also has an inside wall!
Thank you very much. Just trying to get an idea of what kind of coaling facilities would go with a small shed like this?
The outside looks outstanding. The insides would normally be white or off white/cream, possibly with a lower section in a brown or green gloss (so it didn’t show the dirt as quick) Up to around waist height and could be wiped down. hope that helps.
Suppose it would depend on the rest of the facilities, could range from a simple ramp for a wagon to be pushed up and the coal shoveled down a chute into the loco, to Full hoists and a coaling stage, for a more modern preserved look, a heap of Coal and a JCB, and don't forget the Water tower and Water Crane Paul
I'd go with a ramp with some means of getting the wagon up, then hand shovel down a wooden chute into the lovo tender. Loads of character potential. Toto
Cheers, don't want to go the large scale coaling facility. In my mind it is a small 2 road shed with 2 extra layover sidings so mainly for topping up larger tender engines and smaller locos. Being set in the 60's Diesels will also use the facility.
