Very good work - the shed!
But I must give an important addition and correction. An old and used steam engine shed has had not one place on bottom in an other color than black! With a few differences. The black and oily dirt was laying more or less thick on the bottom. And this was extremely thick in lines parallel to the rails. And also after a "cleaning" of bottom it was black - only thinner.
I was a engine shed worker while six years (steam engines) and I never have seen a "light colored" bottom in our engine sheds.
If you will like to set a few nuances you or Vigdis should set very dark and glossy spots for fresh oil or water to a dark gray and dull black bottom.
My suggestion for more realism. And I know that this does not look very attractively. Sorry for my view to reality.
