Train shed

I have begun constructing a shed to shelter trains from the elements during running season.
"Six-inch" (+/- 5.625") fence boards, six feet (approx) long, are the basic material. Being solid lumber, they should outlast plywood.

First long wall assembled Thursday afternoon. The crosspieces (buttresses?) are 3/4" nailing strips, glued (Titebond 3) and screwed (roundhead construction screws, because I have known flatheads to split thin sections of wood if they are tightened down just a tad too far). This will be the exterior side of the wall. I didn't apply glue to the butt joint between the planks; I'll fill the gap with paintable silicon sealant.

Friday's job so far: Second wall and the usual forest of clamps.
 
For the first morning in a good while, the weather and my back agreed that working outdoors would be possible, so I got to work on putting the sides and back of the train shed together.

I apologize to Messrs Rhino and Madman for any palpitations the imprecise assembly may cause them. Much filler will be employed.
