Engine House

[Shawn]

I finally got my engine house done since starting this project before X-mas. I just built a very simple one stall engine house. I used some tin for the roof and spray painted it with krylon rudy brown and a light spray of camo brown. Once it weathers on its own it should look great. Now I just have to wait for this snow to melt so I can add another siding to the house.

There is a layout somewhere under that snow. 30 inches last week plus almost another foot two days before the 30 inches and thats not counting what was on the ground already.

The road in front of my house

Cracking engine shed Shawn. What timber did you use?

That's a great build shawn, well done matey

 

[Shawn]

Thanks everyone. The wood is cedar. It tends to handle wet weather best but once its weathered natural I will put some thompson water seal on it.
Here is the shed on the layout now

Wow, looks even better on the layout.Like all rusty gear around it & the snow plough is brilliant.You have a great eye Shawn.

Yes looks great in-situ. The cedar will give it a nice look as it ages.
