My first scroll through this and I saw those 3D images and thought: Sheesh, I am staying out of this build session, those guys are pros! 

i need a barn. I may not be able to do this build party, but will definitely keep an eye on it for inspiration. 

  I like to represent the "close enough" folks.  A hopefully encouraging example of lack of percision.

I bandsawed about 25 popsicle sticks at a time for speed. There is about 2 scale inch variation in lengths. we ys inc

No measuring per se; 98% eyeballed.  a vintage 5" wood body/brass flats square (only marked to 1/8") ,an exacto saw, my thumbnail for a miter, 120 sandpaper, Emler's white, 6 pinch  clamps and two rubber bands so far.

I'm finding the number of gondolas worth of wood it will take to build one to be intersting; so I do plan on measuring my popsicle sticks closer out of a curiosity for what a real world materials pile size might be.  The width is about 15"X16')18' per pop-sicle  "board", the thickness I'm not sure of .

Last thing I need is a barn...  Okay, I don't need any structures at all since I have zero room for anything on a layout that's been completed as of about 3 weeks ago.

Congratulations.

  I don't have room either. I just got bored and began cutting wood.  

Then I saw this thread again and figured why not?
