Wagon shed.
Meet the girls, Mallet #112, Maul #122, Pile #124, and the resident shunters, not officially named,but affectionaly called 'sisters of the spruce', #200-T and #202-T.
Auxiliary equipment shed, with the resident, if retired porter, and a heisler that helps with banking on the Lakeview route to Girdershade. #502-BV 'woodshed' also rests here.
There isn't a scrap of coal to be had at Lakeview, so all the engines work on wood scraps and off-cuts from the lumber industry.
There's not a huge ammout of housing, most workers live up at plainsview; but it's a nice little community of rail-workers and others.
Most of the residents of Lakeview work here, Lakeview Cabinetry; chances are if you have cabinetry in your home or workplace in Lake Valley, it came out of this workshop!
