Rainbows in the Lehigh Valley Gorge

[TMo]

Dug out another freebie from Clever models.  It's billed as a "Haunted House" but is basically a small abandoned and abused house.  I'm not exactly sure I'm going to use this in the Hazleton layout addition, but we'll see.  I messed up on the front bump out and if this was going anywhere near scrutiny on the layout, I'd be redoing it.  However, it's supposed to look shabby, so I'll let it stand for now.  As I look at the picture I realize that one glaring lack on this kit were any semblance of stairs leading up to the front door, and if I do decide to include it on the layout, I suppose I'll have to address that lack.

   

I did buy a couple more Clever kits for Hazleton - The Cannery, which is an elderly clapboard T-shaped structure with a tin roof and a cupola, as well as the first of four buildings that make up the Cream City Tool Works (Building A).  The original Cream City kit was complete with a set of 4 conjoined (or separate, builder's choice) brick buildings.  However, Clever redid the kit a couple of years ago and now sell it as 4 separate kits and they advertise that they've added a whole lot of detail to them, so I swallowed the bait and bought Building A.  Once I have both of these built, I'll start thinking about how to locate all of these in the space available, and then decide whether I'm going to purchase any of the other 3 buildings for Cream City.  Plan for both of these is to incorporate local Hazleton businesses that would have been around in 1976.  So, more work and future pictures.
