O Scale Cape Cod House Kits

These were and are Bachmann Plasticville 45608 kits.  There are two in a box for under $20 at good dealers.   I'm not familiar with a garage option in O gauge.

Gotta disagree Bill.  OGR 

DID offer houses as part of the Ameri-Town line.  They were nice models, and did have the customizing features CBQ Bill mentioned.  They disappeared from the line some years ago...probably slow sellers and were dropped.  Whether they'd sell any better today is anybody's guess.  I always intended to get a few...but delayed too long and missed out.  Bachman's are OK, but OGR's were much nicer and more realistic (in my opinion).

I agree with Logan that they were OGR items. I always liked the garage as it reminded me of the single garages in my neighborhood.

I saw a few on the shelf at Nicholas Smith last weekend. They were Ameritowne kits.

I actually lived  in the real deal   and also  had a OGR kit painted up just like my house.  Good times there. I surprised you can still find them.

I have three of these OGR Ameritown Cape Cod house kits.   Unfortunately I just don't have any more room available on the layout and I've been trying to sell them.  I have carried them to at least 10 train shows, including three times at York and just can't generate any interest.  All three of them are, not only in their original boxes, they have their original celofane wrap on them, too.  Don't blame OGR for not running them again.

These sound very interesting and I need some houses. If you still want to get rid of them I'm interested. My email is in my profile.

I am also interested in one of your Cap Cod houses.  Do you have one with two window dormers and one shed dormer ?  I will add my e-mail to my profile.  THANKS !

FISCH330,

Since I would not have even known about these if not for CBQ_Bill's post here, please give him first choices on the houses, whatever he wants. If there are any left after that, then please email me. 

I wish ameritown did not industries and or industries with enclosed sidings. IMHO for O gauge, there is enough housing and "mixed use" structures around. It's time to focus on destinations of freight cars.

I used parts from those kits on other projects. The Garage is still available, and I replaced the overhead door end with Evergreen clapboard siding. this makes a great small railroad out building.
