If you're interested in the buildings at Greenfield Village, Dover Publications has a booklet of card stock HO scale models of the buildings.

Unfortunately, I don't think it includes the roundhouse. As has been noted in prior postings, Dover has booklets of other building groups in HO scale. They can be used as is, or as plans for scratch building. Might even be a good way to introduce children to HO scale model railroading.

No, the roundhouse is a rather new addition. They also added an ash pit.

The Greenfield Village buildings, by Dover, were used in a layout recently in a series of articles in Model Railroader. I believe the article was building an HO scale layout for $500. They are nice inexpensive structures.

Thanks Bob

Greenfield Village is awesome. I rode the train 6 times! Next time I go I'll got to the museum and see the Allegehny.
