This article is about the Skarloey Railway Depot. You may be looking for the Skarloey Engine Sheds.

The Depot is a large facility with multiple sheds on the Skarloey Railway. According to former Railway Consultant Sam Wilkinson's 2014 map of Sodor, it is located between Cros-ny-Cuirn and Bluebell Valley.

History and Operations[]

The Depot is the main area where the Skarloey Railway engines sleep and collect their trains. The sheds consist of two brick buildings - a short single-track shed and a longer double-track shed - and a double-track open wooden shed. There is also a goods station at the depot, adjacent to Mr. Percival's House.

Since the sixteenth series, a standard gauge line which is a part of Stepney's Branch Line has been added and runs through the depot.
