My latest build - my son's house | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

My son and his family live in this house. OK, not THIS house

This was by far the most difficult build that I've done so far. Unless something unforeseen comes up this completes my building of all of my family member's houses.

BTW: I have it 'sideways' on its shelf right now so that both the front and back are available to see. Normally I face the front of the house forward, but since this is a new build and no one in my family has seen it yet I thought it better to show one side, the front, and the back versus 2 sides and just the front. Especially with the complexity of the deck in the back! I make the cases too.

thanks guys. Yes, I have gobs of patience!! Not much in the way of artistic talents but definitely gobs of patience.

BILL: now that I have all of them built I will enjoy them for one year, sell them all off, and remake them in tin. How did you know?

Walt:

That is amazing as usual. You are right, the deck needs showing.

Those detailed homes are indeed treasures.

I suspect the family will keep them for a very long time.
