As built around 1900, the loco shed at Murrurundi had 4 straight roads of 168ft, each with an inspection pit running the full length.
The shed had enclosed frontages with wood-slat gables and double doors on each road. Six smoke chutes were evenly spaced along each road. 2 lean-to extensions along one wall housed a fitting shop, a store, a sign-on room and a meal room.
By the mid 1950s, the shed was in poor repair. Smoke chutes and gable wood slats had deteriorated and were removed, as were the shed double doors. One half of the shed had lost its galvanised-iron roof sheets and one outer road was removed and its pit filled in.
This model shows the shed in 1955, 10 years before its closure.
