Arlesburgh Shed is a three road engine shed located at Arlesburgh West, which is the main shed for the engines that work on the Little Western.
History
Arlesburgh Shed was built for Duck and Oliver when the Fat Controller reopened the Little Western in 1966. The sheds have two berths for Duck and Oliver, and an extra one for either Donald or Douglas.
The shed is built in the style of the Great Western Railway buildings. It stands between the ballast hopper and the station.
The shed appears in the Railway Series book, Oliver the Western Engine, and the annual story, Oliver Gets the Bird. It was also mentioned in a Mr. Perkins Postcard Segment.
Trivia
- In the television series, Arlesburgh Shed was replaced with the sheds at Tidmouth Hault.
- When Arlesburgh West was made in full CGI, the engine shed at Arlesburgh was not included.
