Thanks for the initial support. Now then just to make sure, Can I use Company Colours on depots? I might use it but it would be useful to know.

Edit: and a little update:

Continuing. I have altered the roofs (rooves?) in order to make them the same height, also added texture and added a little "mock-up"

Edit: New image uploaded, removed construction lines now and textured the roof, comments please.

I would say make the traine hole not so wide, like in thr picture, and the doors are folding side doors, not roller doors. just keep going :D

EDIT: a quick thing to show

Thank you Purno. Once I have drawn all the views I need to learn how to code the dam thing. Then I need to persuade the patch devs to add a switch to the patch (similar to that of the semaphore signals to lights) in order for me to have this depot and the original ttd depot at the same time. ie. at a certain date (lets say 1975) the old steam style depot can only be build using Ctrl and the default then becomes this new one... Henry says it isn't possible... I however believe it is. whether it is worth implementing however is down to the decision of the Devs,

Looks great! A bit more texturing on the rooves and it will look full of awesomeness.

It now looks like it curves inwards. As I said on MSN i will have a look at it later I have hockey to play first. In the meantime Henry, BACK OFF! :P

Coding is quite a simple task of sprite replacement, I should think.

it needs quite some graphic adjustments, but certainly nice. maybe you could make it a replacement over a period of time. say, since 1975 it'll be this one.

Really nice! Of course, still some texturing on roofs missing.

I asked Patchman about doing that. He said it was possibly but that I must not hold my breath, so at the moment it will probably be drawn as a replacement and if you want to have these at a later date you will have to turn them on yourself. That currently is the only solution, maybe by the time I get these done such a feature in the patch might be implemented.

Yeah I know, note the title of this thread, WORK IN PROGRESS. I thank you for your comments but a little more polite is what I prefer rather than being an order.
