Thought I would share some pictures of the engine shed after being outside for six months now. It's holding up pretty amazing so far . We will see. I should probably fire the welder he has been working on that same Damm wheel for six freaking months.IMG_20190325_233907.jpgIMG_20190325_233927.jpgIMG_20190325_233700.jpgIMG_20190325_233709.jpgMVIMG_20190325_204558.jpg

Looks really great. However after six months that Timber would certainly be pretty well stained all Black by Oily Boots and dripping Locomotives. Perhaps the welder should be given some sort of award for ‘perseverance’?

Yeah I thought that they would weather naturally but I may have to help it along.

Jack, that has really held up well and in our climate, how is the PVC roof holding up? Looks great and maybe a little too pristine, but then again it's the new kid on the block

The roof is holding up really well. It has a tendency to want to curl up but I have screws on all four corners to keep it down when not in use.. thanks for the comments. I think I need to dirty it up...

Quite likely you have ‘Borrowers’ in place swoping the wheels around so that he can repair them all.
