Engine Sheds Inside and Out

I have noticed the increasing number of railways such as Rudyard, Leighton Buzzard and Sherwood Forrest (on which I fire) which use shipping containers as sheds or at least to build sheds around. The question is, does anyone make a 1:19th or extremely close sized container?
Also, on the line of engine sheds, apart from the odd bit on fleabay, has anyone taken over the P&J detail parts like the lathe, gas bottles and tools ect or does anyone do similar?

I would try Tenarren Models - that's where all the shed stuff for Flagg Fluorspar came from.................

Thanks Brian, I am still looking around to see if anyone does a container.

"G Scale" containers sometimes crop up on eBay - I'd imagine that they'd be a doddle to scratch build though

The playmobil container scrubs nice with a lick of paint and a door reversal hits the spot in my eyes. Looks even better in focus!

What makes of G scale ones would you suggest Kevin when searching ebay? Do the playmobil ones come in different sizes?

Sorry, I couldn't tell you the make - I usually spot them when doing a refined search. G gauge - Trains/Railway Models - Buildings.

There is one on ebay, try playmobil site office. The portaloo looks a possibility but the construction garage is a waste of time....I know.....
