Looking great Jan. Have the HO version about ready, but have been down with a bad cold. Will luck hope next week I can cut and test build  one. This was a fun building to do for sure.

A great kit , fits perfect ( if you follow the directions  ;) ), is different , fun to build , a great addition to the N-scale hobby.
I love photo's, don't we all.

Beautiful work all around....the Kit and the location.

Will be glad to see the HO version (yours is just too small for my old eyes).

Thanks for the great Build Thread.

Thank you Steve and Jim , and you're very welcome . I too am waiting for the H0 version, although I'm not sure if I want yet another kit on my H0 layout exactly the same as on my N-scale layout, but the kit is very unique and a lot of fun to build.
Now Rich has to do this structure that I have wanted to do for years  ;) , first photo of how it looked before they started restoration, second what it looks like in restoration.



I believe they are well on to finishing.



I love photo's, don't we all.

What a great building - so much character. Definitely like the pre-restoration version better.

WOW Jan, what a barn might just have to do that one. Another one that will be big as hard to compress it without losing it the feel and look. Send me any info you have on it and will see what happens.

Wow , Bob , thank you oh so much, I love this building so much that I even donated to the restoration funds.

Rich I think if you got in touch with the owners/restorers they would maybe even have a blueprint and surely enough photo's , maybe for a small contribution per kit you sold , something like that.

Not Jan, but this should give a body a start - https://www.nps.gov/nr/feature/places/pdfs/14000828.pdf


Thanks for posting that link Bob.....that was one profitable farm in its day.....loved the draft horses.  8)


With a bit of money and a little TLC, that house, barn and other outbuildings could be restored and look wonderful. Definitely worth the effort.  :)
