BGU Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Super Layout. Did your house come with an upstairs or did you put one in? Either that or the farmer is 6 times bigger than normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike R Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 Yes the Farm house did come with a upstairs I have now completed the layout with this last barn I have made it cost about ?30 for the materails and all of today to build it, Its doesnot have quite so much detail that Grahams have but I am pleased how its turned out here is 2 pictures one just after painting in my Garage and one fitted on the layout. hope you like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
