Been wanting to give the
Tribute to Tinplate bungalow project a try, and this week I finally found some time to get started:
- Tribute to Tinplate bungalow project
- Bungalow 3.jpg (161.93 KiB) Viewed 29627 times
It's scaled a bit larger than the Lionel version, so it should look a little better than an original when sitting adjacent to other O-gauge buildings and equipment.
First attempt...we'll see how this goes.

Okay, with the exception of giving it a clear gloss overspray, the bungalow project is complete:
- Lionel bungalow project
- Lionel 184 in paper.jpg (238.7 KiB) Viewed 29610 times
Learned quite a bit in constructing this, much of which will be applied in the next project. One thing, if you give this a try, you need to scale the porch/entryway up quite a bit. It's far too small when compared to the Lionel 184 bungalow (see upper right image). I'm not sure if this was a function of my printing it too small somehow, or if it's just scaled wrong in the plans. I should have been paying closer attention during assembly. Also, I made the roof a lift-off so I can put a light in it later if I decide to replace the windows.
Good project...thanks to Paul and Howard for taking the time to develop and provide it for us.

I think we're going to try this again, but sized more in line with the original. This first one is a bit too big for the layout.
