Let me add a cautionary note. Do what you can to make the engine house fireproof. An old structure with dried wood will burn quickly if something starts. Heaters/stoves etc. must be vented and watched and any fire doused in the evening. The electrical system must be checked out and improved if necessary. And some sort of smoke/fire alarm must be installed to ring at the SFD. You don't need a conflagration like what struck the Durango roundhouse a few years ago.
