Did Bachmann ever make that in O gauge?

Wish they did!!!!!!
I love mid-century modern homes and will have a few on my layout. I have that kit to scale from but 99.999% sure it was never made in O....but a great idea!!!
Looks like a fairly easy scratchbuild opportunity!...
Build a shell using sheet acrylic glazing....easily found at home improvement stores, usually in the area where they have storm doors.
After you have the shell done, glue styrene strips to frame out the windows/doors.
At this point, you can then mask the windows/doors inside and out, and paint the building your favorite color. OR.... Sheath the outside surfaces with any of several materials...sheet styrene (pre-painted or not), textured card stock with peel-n-stick backing, regular card stock (printed, painted, chalked,....whatever), etc., etc.
Make a roof from flat stock of your choice...cover it with shingle stock.
Details here and there.

I've designed a few Mid-Century homes for my layout....yet to build any as the layout itself is main focus now. But the have very clean lines making them easy to build.
As long as we are talking 20th century architecture, has anyone ever put the LEGO™ version of Fallingwater on their layout. I am sorely tempted to do so but would love to see it elsewhere first.
A scratch built FLW FW has been a thought on my layout for sure!!!
If they do, I'm in. Different colors, too...
