I have started to add structures to my railroad and wanted to get opinions on plastic kits such as those made by Piko and Aristocraft. I live in Western PA where there is a seasonal mix of sun and snow. Although the kits say "weather resistant" I'm not sure at what point they stop resisting the weather! I've just recently added a few buildings and tried to pick more shaded areas of placement, however some will get direct sunlight all day. If the structures weather gracefully, that would be cool. If they dry, crack, warp, etc, that would be bad. Should I use a UV treatment? If so, what would you recommend for plastic and how often does it need applied? I intend to bring the structures inside during the winter. <br /> <br />Thanks, <br />Rich
