>i wouldn't mind a WD myself
In another topic, Columbo commented on the amount of space required to do an MPD justice. I was browsing my reprint of the 1959 Loco shed book and noted 43 WDs were shedded at Wakefield (56A). Now I don't know the dimensions of the model and the latest Bachmann catalogue doesn't give any, but at a say 1 foot long, if all the locos are on shed, that's 43 foot of standing required buffer to buffer. Or maybe 5 lines eight foot long, or... and that's just the WDs.
Big places these MPDs.
