I'm not sure whether this query belongs in this thread. However..
I was reading a "bookazine" on the Southern Region's concrete prefabrication site at Exmouth Junction [Southern Nouveau pub. by Wild Swan] and it transpired that not only did the LNER previously also use concrete line side huts but BR also manufactured them for LT. I can't recall off hand ever seeing such structures on LT surface lines [ballast bins, toolsheds, platelayers' huts etc]. Does anyone know whether any still exist? |

There were three just south of North Harrow between the local and fast lines but only the bases remain. There is still one I think at Harrow-on-the-Hill north of plats 1 and 2.

One at Loughton on the site of the old station, so post 1940.
The GER was a pioneer in this; Gidea Park station being one of the first concrete block structures (1910).

There were two half way between Chalfont and Chesham, these have disappeared within the last couple of years.

Thank you all - I have just designed some 0gauge ones and wondering if I could justify a home for home for them on an LT layout.

Thank you DistrictSOM - I had a wander today and saw the typical SR design concrete platelayers hut you mention. Rather interestingly, like many line side inhabitable structures on LT, it was painted a mixture of what seemed to be maroon and red bauxite hence, unless you were looking for it, you'd not notice it easily.
