First introduced in 1957, the Dairy Barn is a former Littletown structure. There are three color variations. The more common is RED with a GRAY roof and silo cap. The less common, that is illustrated to the left, is the TUSCAN version which also has a GRAY colored roof and silo cap. The third color variation occurred when Bachmann released the No. 1932 in 1980, it came with RED walls and a WHITE roof and silo cap.

There are four small pins that align the silo halves and usually one or more of these are broken. Because of the silo cap, and the way the silo mounts to the wall, lack of these pins will not prevent the silo from staying together. We’ve shown the other parts that are commonly missing below.

Dairy Barn Door
There are four doors that go with this barn. They should be the same color as the walls of the barn. Because these doors are "moveable" and "removable" they are often missing. There are no reproductions available for this part.

Dairy Barn Roof Vent
The roof vent should be the same color as the walls of the barn. Two of these lock the roof pieces together. Both of these are necessary to make the barn roof stable. Often one or both of these parts are missing and there are no replacements available.
