Look at the double doors here:

And on the Wills barn here:

Look very similar to me.

Martin, Never having seen the Wills Barn I looked at both and can't see the similarity, the number of "planks" is different(yes I counted), the hinges are different shapes and the bars securing the doors are also differently shapes .

Having been more than impressed with our parcel of builings sent in May, I doubt not that these new releases are just as good.

I like the add on building sections, a great idea chaps.

Why build an entire 2 story barn and steal the doors from something else? Makes no sense to me.

By that I mean I don't think its a rippoff either, how many styles of plank double doors with a crossbar and tee-hinges are there in Europe? :roll:

For a start, you can see that they're not even the same width.

I believe that some of you need to remember that Wills also do some extra stuff for detailing and scratch-build buildings, and I believe that those double doors are from a Wills pack - I also have them on my stash - so the similitude, but not clonage.

I do have both buildings - the Pola/Wills barn, and the Byzantium building - and that's the only thing in common - Ah! the roof is also from a Wills' shet or a similar HO producer.

A+
