Gerry, Are you referring to the DSL Shops Sears house? I have one unbuilt as yet: it appears to be the same high quality as the other DSL kits. I can't find a Sears house on the Raggs site. It will be great when you build Howard's kit so we can all see what it looks like. Thanks for the info. Roger Nulton

Just got my first peek this AM at my, note, purchased Howard's Trains' nameless 1:64 bungalow laser-cut kit. While the jury will remain out until I can actually do hands-on construction, let me write that, at first sight, I'm impressed. Why you ask? Howard's and his laser contractor, Sidetrack, have taken the time to actually etch part names into the sprues where any confusion might arise due to similar appearances of like parts. The finished model will fit in quite well with other, previously-produced residence housing from Mountain Engineering, Branchline, BTS, Am. Modelbuilders and, if you can find them, Banta. This kit, however, in no way architecturally resembles any of the past offerings by any vendor save whoever brought out the Sears 1:1 mail-order kit a couple of decades-ago but not to be confused with the Sears kit now offered by Raggs to Riches. Howard's has no web site but can be reached at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> or 707-961-0186. Price is $95 + $5 s&h.
