Arlesburgh West Shed is the main shed for the engines on the Arlesdale Railway.
History[]
There are three sheds at Arlesburgh West. The one seen in illustrations houses the steam engines and has a well-equipped workshop. The diesels have a shed to themselves on the opposite (north) side of the line, and nearby is the carriage shed, capable of holding all passenger stock under cover.
In 1967, Frank crashed in to the back of the shed, which resulted in the Small Controller making inspections to ensure the shed was safe.
