doctorwayne's Summer Challenge - Part I: A house... - doctorwayne - 07-04-2010 ...is not a home, especially if it's just an outhouse. I picked up this Tichy kit, which includes parts to build three of these little gems, rather than scratchbuild the ones required by the railroad, as I want them to be all the same. For some future houses that will also need this type of facility, they'll be built to suit the scene. The picture below pretty-well tells the whole story: Still to be done on this crappy little project: some paint, then installation on the layout. Wayne Re: doctorwayne's Summer Challenge - Part I: A house... - P5se Camelback - 07-04-2010 I smell something funny when you start building straight-out-of-the-box kits, DoctorWayne! And as a foil for kit-builts, are you going to "scratch" corn cribs for next to these houses? Re: doctorwayne's Summer Challenge - Part I: A house... - Sumpter250 - 07-04-2010 :o It's a single "family one holer" !!! Interesting that most often people refer to a "half moon" in the door.......more often than not, it's more like a "quarter moon". Unless the door is left open,...................then it's more like a full "moon". :oops: P5se Camelback Wrote:are you going to "scratch" corn cribs for next to these houses? ....or at least, a Sears & Roebuck catalog. Re: doctorwayne's Summer Challenge - Part I: A house... - doctorwayne - 07-04-2010 Naw, I purposely left the doors closed on these (don't wanna stink-up the layout room) just to avoid any of the usual cliches. Having personally dug and cribbed several 5-holers, none of those added "details". Wayne Re: doctorwayne's Summer Challenge - Part I: A house... - Gary S - 07-05-2010 Y'all do know about the brown corn cobs and the white corn cobs, right? Oh... nevermind.

Having personally dug and cribbed several 5-holers, none of those added "details". " I'll try to keep this as short as possible: It's the shortest possible version of a "tale" told by Marshal Dodge, a "downeast story teller", I had the pleasure of listening to, aboard the schooner "Mary Day", up in Penobscot Bay, Me. ( the original tale took about half an hour to tell ) Set-up: Farmer's well runs dry. Dowser is called, and finds water up top the hill, Well digger comes out, and starts digging the new well. After almost a mile down, the dowser is called to find another "spot", it's found, and the well is dug and water is clean and plentiful. The discussion begins about what to do with the "mile deep" well, they didn't want to have some child accidentally fall down that well, and the farmer, remembering that he needed to dig a new privvy, decides that he'd move it to the top of the hill, and "never have to dig again". _______________________ Six months later: Man and his wife stop out front, she wants to "use the facility", so the farmer directs her to the top of the hill. She no sooner gets to the top, when she turns running down the hill screaming " Farmer, farmer, there's a man up there ! and he's turning purple!!!! Farmer looks at her and says," Oh, that's my hired hand Virgil, he's fine. He just sits up there enjoying the morning breezes, "pinches one off",......... and then holds his breath 'til it hits the bottom. Re: doctorwayne's Summer Challenge - Part I: A house... - P5se Camelback - 08-04-2010 Oh ........ My ........... God!!!!!!! Now I know two Maine jokes, both on more or less the same topic, both equally hilarious! Re: doctorwayne's Summer Challenge - Part I: A house... - Ralph - 08-04-2010 Those jokes stink Pete.
