Reply to "Any kits out there? Anyone scratchbuild models of Sears mail-order "kit" homes"

     Lee I grew up in A house from Sears and the house next to and behind us were also from Sears. I had started O gauge house out of balsa wood of our house the roof was the only thing that was not finished. We were moving from Turtle Creek to Monroeville and my nephew stoped by to see if I needed help. I told him no that the load I had was it for the night. He saw the model house I built sitting on the roof of the truck and asked if he could take it out because he was going to visit gram and pap for A while. I told him OK but to be careful with it (famous last words). I was unloading stuff at the new house when he puled up. He told me he had stoped to get some smokes at the 8-12 and A friend of his jumped in the passenger seat to talk with him. Well that is where the model house was sitting (SMASH). The kid jumped back out and ran off so my nephew is handing me A bunch of fire starter wood that used to be the model house. I have not built anything from scratch since then. Choo Choo Kenny
