Way back when, Sears sold kit homes through its catalogs. They were delivered by mail-order freight, either all at once or over time as you built each part, etc. I've always been intrigued by them and have reproductions of several catalogs and have taken a tour of eight homes here in central NC that were Sears mail order kit homes.
Has anyone ever seen a (1:48 model) kit for a house identifiable as a Sears home, or scratch-built a model of one? The house kits were usually delivered by box car. I have this idea for a very neat vignette with a house under construction and a boxcar pulled nearby with figures unloading this month's. Not sure where I would put it, but it would be so cool!
