Ratio OO 502 Cattle Dock

Ratio OO 502 Cattle Dock

A common feature of country stations large and small, whilst market town cattle docks could be very large indeed. Our model is of the one at Yeovil Pen Mill (GWR) Station, Somerset. Livestock (Modelscene Cows Ref. 5100, Sheep and Lambs Ref. 5110, Pigs Ref. 5108, and Horses Ref.5105) was conveyed on British railways until around 1973, although many cattle docks remained in place unused, becoming overgrown - an interesting scenic feature. Supplied with pre-coloured parts although painting and/or weathering can add realism; glue is required to complete this model. Footprint 170mm x 110mm

The essential items for all stations until recently was a goods shed. Inside, dry goods were stored and transhipped from road to rail via the internal platform. The shed usually had a crane (Ref 531) or hoist (Ref 543) inside, whilst pallets and sacks (Ref 514) would be seen stacked around the site. A good example of this type of goods shed can still be seen standing in Ross on Wye, long after the railway has disappeared. Supplied with pre-coloured parts although painting and/or weathering can add realism; glue is required to complete this model. Footprint 155mm x 170mm

Loading gauges were an essential feature of all goods yards, most public sidings and many private sidings. The overhead gauge allowed loaded wagons to be checked quickly and easily for height and width of the load, ensuring the load would travel safely.This Southern Railway design was built with a concrete post. Many of these are still standing!

Quick to build from pre-cast concrete sections these goods stores were put up in station yards to provide increased covered storage capacity. Many were let to traders and a few can still be found today.This kit is a little more complex than many other Ratio buildings, needing care to assemble all of the correct parts to the correct panels. Just like the prototypes there are several possible floorplans, larger buildings needing the parts of a second kit.
