Looking for UK mainline style red brick steam loco sheds

I've been working on a motive power depot in my route, however i'm finding that the selection of sheds on the DLS just isn't quite what i'm looking for. the BR 2-4-6 lane sheds by edgar craggs are wonderful, but they're already on my route several times over. i was planning on using the LNWR engine shed, however it's much too small; a rebuilt merchant navy just barely fits under the ceiling, and it's too short to hold anything else in that lane. there's nothing necessarily wrong with all the Churchward sheds, only that the ratio of corrugation to brick is weighted more heavily towards the former than i'd like. Ben Dorsey's sheds would be absolutely perfect, but they're far too large for a UK loading gauge. i'd rather not line up many smaller sheds together because the walls would separate all the berths, which wouldn't make sense at all. my question is, are there any third party sites that host engine sheds for me to look through?
 
If you have plans and a few photos you might be able to find someone to make one for you or to reskin one of the other ones. Scenery objects are not that hard to make provided there aren't too many curves.

Here's a few I found with a quick look. Some of these like S&C and two of the Barnsdales are packaged, but most are DLS. I think all are English brick engine sheds:

I've got a red brick shed on my layout:

Would that be the sort of thing you're looking for?

EDIT: ah, I see it's by Edgar Craggs, so probably not! Shame, because these are nice sheds.

If you have drawings or even pictures of something similar im happy to put something together for you. It should only take an evening or two depending on how bit is. PM me if you're interested.

Honestly, having new BR Brick Sheds built by you would be quite the exceptional treat. Your buildings are first rate my friend. ;)
