LPPC DSL BW 0979 Imagine this turntable scene at Old Oak Common with an all-over roof covering it and then multiply that by four. That would have been the size of the original roofed stabling area of the shed. In the left background is the repair and maintenance building colloquially known as the ‘Factory’. The shed with the clock is more recent and for fuelling and there are 16 locomotives gathered around the turntable, including four Western Class 52s, two Warships Class 42, five Hymek Class 35s, two Brush Type 2 Class 31s and three Brush Type 4 Class 47s at rest, and clearly, most have their engines running. Keywords: 1970, BR, Black and White, D1038, D1071, D1639, D1747, D5535, D7025, D7033, D7049, D821, GWR, London, Old Oak Common, Shed, Western, turntable
