These farm buildings will be located in a mountainous area on my Nn3 logging line.
The plans for these structures is in the Easy-to-Build Model Railroad Structures book by Kalmbach.
First up is the farm house
Scott, Yup it is cerealboard and some card stock.
My daughter has suggested a few things to make ciorncobs out of but they would be out of scale. She then said get some fine copper wire with yellow plastic insulation and cut them into 1/16 pieces. That would make the cobs about 12 inches long. But can you imagine how many I would have to cut? I also thought about printing a photo of corncobs and stick inside the frame. Haven't found any photos yet though.
I like your farm. Must be a real challenge to work with them little bitty bits. What about a windmill? Shouldn't your farm have a windmill? Or maybe a well?
Hi jasbourre. Nope I just eye-balled it. I saw some real ones out here on the flats and took a look on the web for further ideas. I always ment to add a service platform at the top and a ladder, and I will some day.
I have scratchbuilt one windmill which is on my ranch. I will make a smaller one for the farm. That's a nice one you made TC. What did you make the blades from?
Don't know how I missed this thread, but the farm buildings look fantastic Robin!!!!! You just about have the whole country covered with your layout! :thumb: :thumb:
