    Hi to all. It is such a good day in this neighborhood…..
    I like rural areas and I would like my expansion to show that. So I am looking for a good and natural looking barn and 2 story farm house. I have seen a lot with different prices on the internet, but I would like to ask you good neighbors if you have any good idea or a very source to get one.
    Thank you so much.
    Mo:)

    Mosken:

    All lasercut kits have to be assembled, painted and weathered.

    Stay cool and run steam..... [​IMG] :cool: :cool:

    Laser kits are easy to put together and you can do a lot of the painting while the parts are still whole on the sheet.

    There are also optional decals for those mpp barns reading "Chew Mail Pouch Tobacco". That makes them authentic to me as barns with those ads were everywhere.

    Mo- Probaby the easiest source to tap is the Walther's site. It has a listing of almost everything made for any scale. As to price, you can probably do better when you find an on line dealer from whom to purchase the items.

    As an example, today I was thinking about my urban waterfront industrial area expansion. I do not want nicely paved streets, but rather a more authentic cobblestone for my streets. I went onto the Walther's site and typed in N scale, scenery, cobblestones. Three items came up, I then went to the Noch site (one of the ones that came up0 and they had a whole lot more in cobblestones. The internet is wonderful.
