Mike R Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I was wondering if the size of the britains atcost type barn is right it looks too low and I was thinking about increasing its hieght to make a larger barn for my layout would this look out of place ? I have bought 3 sets for a ? 7 each from a shop in town thats closing down I may put them together to see what i can build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 i guess with work the legs could be made longer, thats for sure, ,maybe the long ones would be better for the current short ones position, and new ones for the long ones position, recon they could be cast to at a push Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike R Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 most of the wooden building like Grahams and brushwoods are about 10 inches high unlike the britains barn set which is about 7.5 inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 either method would work i guess pdh, i have some spare legs arround somewhere along with other bits, i may have a look at making a longer one, and mabe a longer top span section to so they are wider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike R Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 I was thinking of incorporating a wall using wood and making the barn sit on top of it If its wet tomorrow I will have ago when I am in the workshop and see how i get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I was worrying about the colour of the beams that they would look crap but they look ok. Thanks Kentman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
