We're goin' to start posting the Marxville line of plastic buildings. We've already done a bunch of the peripheral items like street lamps, water towers and such, but the buildings are what make a miniature town a town - the houses and business our little train folk reside in. But first let's travel out to the sticks, the countryside where the people who toil away trying to provide Marxville residents their food live. Today we'll start with a good old fashioned Chicken Coop (the barn will come later). Marx made a nice little barn and chicken coop but never got around to making a nice old fashioned farmhouse. Even their large tin-litho farm sets never had a farmhouse. Other brands like Lionel and MTH would make plastic houses quite suitable for the occasion though.
Here's some of the details:

I took this picture before I had a clean set of animals. The 'A' tree may or may not originally have come with the set. I'm taking an educated guess that it probably did as Marx liked to include trees with their buildings and it is hinted at on the box artwork.
