I remember them well...as a matter of fact, the Skyline garage is on my current layout. I started reading Model Railroader in 1944, and presently have copies of every issue since they began publishing. I do not recall ever seeing wooden kits offered by Skyline. It's possible they did, and my memory's faulty...that sometimes happens at 83...but I don't think they did. Early on, there were many manufacturers who did offer wooden kits. Yank had some very nice wooden house kits in the early postwar period. I have one...but have never built it. The Skyline church was a very popular model, seen frequently in photos in the model railroad magazines of the 40's and 50's.
