Hmmm this is getting interesting, I figured Coal and Sand would close together having turned, sanded and fueled countless loco's in the past.

Whereas the Privy would be closer to the Station "out-the-back" and not across the Mainline under the Coalingtrestle, I based that with the assumption Passengers used said privvy.  Locos carried their Tools onboard, Sectionmen would require a Toolhouse: was it elsewhere away from the Depot, like further East showing up beside the teamtrack?



The circled Shed seems to be rather flash for a privvy, but as this picture is earlier than the rebuilt Chutes, was it a Sandhouse?, again awefully flash for that purpose too! The rectangled Shed to the right is what I think would be a Toolshed.  It also shows up painted dark in the UPD&G Coaldock photo.

There is also an unexplained Shed, very close to the tailtrack of the Wye, however dimensions don't fit with those listed of the Toolhouse.
