Skarloey Engine Sheds

Skarloey Railway Engine Sheds is where the locomotives and rolling stock of the Skarloey Railway live.

Skarloey Railway Engine Sheds in the Railway Series
When the Skarloey Railway was under construction in 1865, a small engine shed and a carriage shed was being built by the wharf at Crovan's Gate. Originally, the engine shed was a brick-structure with a single road. However, when Peter Sam and Sir Handel were purchased, an open-side shed was added to make it into a two-road shed. Later, a second track was added to the brick part of the shed, making it a three-road shed.

Skarloey Railway Engine Sheds in the television series
When the Skarloey Railway was introduced in season 4, the engine and carriage sheds were identical to their Railway Series counterparts, except reversed, and the wooden part of the shed had two tracks instead of one. However, in season 5, a narrow gauge engine shed was built at the Quarry, which was eventually closed down due to a big boulder crashing into it and setting it on fire.

Since season 6, the engine sheds consisted of two double-road sheds joined together with a single-road shed. These sheds are situated opposite Mr. Percival's house. As of the sixteenth season, there is a standard gauge line running past the shed. They are also referred to as "the depot". There is also a very large shed at the Wharf.
