Check your library for "The Barn, a Vanishing Landmark In North America" by Eric Arthur and Dudley Witney. It's a good study of various styles of American barns. You probably have the design in mind (the typical New England gambrel-roofed barn perhaps?) This book might offer up lots of other options. It includes some plans but not actual working drawings. You might be compressing the structure somewhat anyway for use on a layout and so will be making up your own dimensions. I have other books on barns but they are more touchy-feely books on restoration or converting them to houses for people with more money than they know what to do with. The above book offers practical information on barn construction & design. Wayne
