Hi, I’m Owen. In these videos, I’m continuing to build, expand, and improve my O-gauge Lionel Polar Express Model Railroad Layout. Today I’m taking a close look at the new Barbed Wire Fence accessory from Woodland Scenics. Woodland Scenics offers this accessory in O, HO, and N-scales. Here’s the package containing my new O-scale Barbed Wire Fence. It includes O-scale fence posts, barbed wire, bracing posts, and a gate. Here is the complete contents list:
1 Barbed Wire Fence 42 inches (106 cm) long
2 Gates
8 Corner Brace Posts
4 Corner Posts
I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin about a hundred years ago. Building and maintaining fences was a never ending part of life on the farm. In the winter we cut oak trees in the woodlot to make fenceposts. To slow down rot, we cut off the bark from the new posts, using a draw knife. I’ve included a link to a photo of a drawknife below.

One of Abraham Lincoln’s nicknames was, “The Railsplitter.” Well, I used barbed wire instead of split rails. But I did split a lot of oak logs to get two or more fence posts when the diameter was more than was needed for a single fencepost.
Building a fence line using this Woodland Scenics Barbed Wire Fence Kit will be way easier than my experience building real fences back on the farm. Instead of digging post holes by hand with a clamshell posthole digger, I’ll drill them using a 1/16 drill bit and an electric drill.
One of the most difficult parts of building a real barbed wire fence was getting the wire tight enough so that it didn’t sag and the cattle couldn’t push their way through it. I’m going to be especially interested in how that will work with this O-scale fence.

The kit includes 42 inches, or 106 centimeters, of fence. So the first step is to measure the circumference of the space I want to enclose.
