There was certainly something special about sheds that had a
roundhouse. York [50A], Leeds Holbeck [55A], Croes Newydd [89B] and Sunderland [52G]
are all well-remembered, though I never got to Barrow Hill [41E] in the days of
steam. Crewe North [5A] had half a roundhouse, though I’m struggling to
remember any others that I might also have reached in the 1960s. You could get
some very impressive line-ups around the turntable in a roundhouse.
They invariably put on a good show at Barrow Hill, these
days. These pictures are from our visit to a special event there in 2010. The
raised, central viewing area certainly helps with the photos.
