The 3mm scale Teignford barn.

This structure is the pride of Teignford. Built from a drawing by the late Alan Downes it shows what can be done with cardboard and matchsticks.

When I originally made it I had a message from Alan advising me to re-do the roof with individual slates .

The original roof was covered with strips of reduced Superquick roofing tiles.

I took his advice and the structure was transformed to what you see here.

The tractor is a Fordson which was a 3D print from the late lamented Finney and Smith.

There is also a Petter Stationary Engine in the farmyard from the same source but is difficult to photograph.

The ducks and geese are enjoying a quiet time but when you see the layout at an exhibition- look for the creature that will potentially spoil their day!
