Well done to Trackwork on the installation of the track in concrete and installation of the track in the pit/buffer stop. It was a wonderful experience being in charge of building the railway in this beautiful part of the country!
I think one of the sides is open as there just wasn't enough space for a wall to go in without moving the track I suppose they could've shortened the width of the building but i guess they thought they would rather have the extra track space but not sure why there wasn't a wall behind the buffers.
As well as walls it would need heating to above 5deg through winter to prevent condensation if it were to keep the stock dryer. A slatted end by the buffers might be useful to keep out wind blown rain.
I think you might find it's to do with a) money saving technique and b) the regulations of buildings in that part of the countryside, it has to blend in with the surroundings and look nice as opposed to just having a big ugly depot building in the middle of all the beautiful scenery. As the engineer in charge of building of the pit, I wish I could give you more of a definitive answer however I never really asked the question
From another view. Its well thought out space in which other railways carriage shed ideas have been taken. For instance the train length pit comes from the SVRs carriage shed. Kieran and the guys have improved upon ours at Kidderminster with the side access. The metal grill platform for washing coaches is a far better idea than a solid concrete one that gets like an ice rink in winter in the depths of Kidderminster. We can get over 7 years between varnishing on our teaks thanks to the carriage shed anf thats with running through a small bore tunnel. There should be no reason why the teaks on the moors wont last 7 + years between varnishing now this has opened.
ive heard from a friend that is a volunteer, the new shed is absolutely useless because the sides are open, it doesnt give any protection at all and there isnt any waste drainage system to empty the carriage toilet tanks
@@brothermoto1964 they wanted to start using tanks for the on-train toilets instead of just letting it fall on the tracks but they dont have the system to empty the tanks
@@SDE1994 If the trains don't have tanks they don't need a special place to empty them. Once they are fitted a place for emptying them can be sorted. Not sure a Mk1 era carriage has ever had a retention tank fitted yet.
@@brothermoto1964 but heritage railways are now fitting them to not leave mess on the track, NYMR started fitting them but didnt make a place to empty them
Great to see Kieran stayed at the NYMR.
He left
Very impressive. I hope the public will be able to look around

Such a beautiful facility. Well done to all involved. 👏👏👍😀
I don't really understand why the sides and buffer end are open, but a beautiful addition to my favourite UK preserved railway.

The reason is to keep the air flow through the building to keep everything kept inside it dry so it won't deteriorate further.........
I would imagine, that like many heritage enterprises like this, walls etc and additional fitting out will come as funds permit...

Nice bloke, Kieran.
Great video and what a superb carriage shed !

Nice to see Tim Dunn. I like him a lot and he’s such a great historian.
Well it’s definitely been full of water I kayaked it 😅
Oh it’s back the channel I love this channel
Superb 🍷
Kieran maybe you can offer afternoon tea at yours, could be a good little earner

What toilet tanks do you mean?

North Yorkshire Moors Railway love louis shirly
WIll give protection and secuirty to the rolling stock, hopefully there wont be a repeat of the vandalisation that struck in 2018.
😂 actually I built that 👍
Why is it open on one side?
Does not look that secure from the " Neddies " . Is there a night watchman with a Dobberman ?
One minute they’re going bankrupt (please give us all your pension money). Then this springs up!

Creepy!
