Swiss hay barn

And here … the drawing for all those who would like to build their own

If you prefer CADrail or DXF format send me an email. Sorry about the metric measurements. :smiley: :wink: :smiley: PS Is it suitable for “G”? Only if you mess up while building!

I had to get a chuckle the other day. I was in Michaels and they had a little cabin (bird house) very similar to your barn. It was built up but came with shingles and stones for the fireplace that the purchaser added. They wanted 5.95 for it. Later that same day I was browsing some of the on-line Large Scale stores. Found the same “bird house” in kit form “suitable for G Scale” for only $35.95…:confused: I may go back to Michaels. :slight_smile:

One thing's for sure building from scratch is not because of the money one "saves". ;) :lol:

OTOH if generic is good enough, fine. If you want it authentic, better build it yourself. You should see the prices on the commercial 1:22.5 RhB structures. Whoa! Hold it! :wink: :slight_smile:

Nice Swiss hay barn. Good practical construction of logs, tin roof, stone on top. I like it. I built one of them a while back. But I built in 12in. to the foot scale. And I didn’t use it for hay. I live in it for a while. Take a look of you care to at :

Hi Eric,

I’m glad you like the project. Thanks for the links! On the telephone poles you used, where they originally treated with some preservative?

I looked at your train page. Very interesting stuff!
Sheesh I guess “they” re-enact train robberies everywhere, :wink: :slight_smile: Here in the valley they do that on the KVR http://www.kettlevalleyrail.org/ and also on some of the Armstrong Explorer trips http://www.kamrail.com/armstrong.html the KHR runs.
