Per the 1916 valuation for the railway, the shed is 12x12 feet on a 12x24 platform.
I had a sheet of Dollar Tree foam board to use. I cut the pieces and then stripped the paper off so it would be water proof. With out the paper its about 5mm thick. Then I hot glued it together.
Cut the battens from the edge of the foam board. Glued them on with outdoor Gorilla Glue.

| Bare foam. |
Painted with acrylics. Hot glued redwood posts and angle supports.

| Bare roof. |
I saw some videos online how to make corrugated metal with different paper crimper manufactures. They all work the same.
I ran down to the crafty stores and found none in stock anymore. So I Googled it and found the Friskars one through Walmart and added it to my Christmas list.
Thank you Santa!

| The package. |

| The tool. |
 |
| Stick a business card in and turn the side orange handle while squeezing the back handle. I usually twist the side handle a little forward then back, then forward/back repeatedly to get better corrugations. Especially on the end before spitting it out. You could use aluminum from soda cans as well. |
 |
| This is what you get. Paint the business cards before or after. |
 |
| You could use longer card stock to get more scale lengths. I may redo the roof later with thinner card stock and full lengths. |

| The Captain thinks its ok. |
