This scratch built freight-house, is a project I did in 1959/1960.......it finally found a permanent home on the new ( 30") module set..... "How long has it been ?"
hmmm 1959.....THAT
hock: was 57 years ago

This was also the first roof that I used individual simulated wood ( paper ) shingles on. Since then all buildings I roof with wood shingles, use the same "one-at-a-time" technique..........My best guesstimate, is somewhere around 8,000 individual shingles over those 57 years ( yeah "guesstimate"....I'm not even going to think about counting them all.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
