Jim, If you go back and measure can you post your findings, that would be an interesting piece for a layout. [^]

I think your approach of measuring some things is the right way to go. Multiply the inches by 4 and that's what it would measure in feet in real life. But you sound like you already know that!

Is the rest of your layout scale? If not, wouldn't just asking "will it look right on MY layout?" be the important decider? But since you can't take it home to try it out, [:D], I like your idea of measuring so that you'll know how it will compare to the rest of your stuff.

sounds nice - walt

Cracker Barrel
Posted by Brutus on Sunday, August 28, 2005 11:14 AM
We were enjoying dinner at the Cracker Barrel the other day and in the shop area I found they are selling a model Cracker Barrel restaurant that lights up for about $25. I didn't have a ruler with me, but it looked like it was about the right size to fit on an O gauge set - anybody got this or checked it out? I think I might go back with a ruler and see if the front door was about 1.75 to 2 inches tall.... Is there a better way to check for the scale, to see if it will look right on a layout? Thanks for any help!
