Plan 1135g - Modular Home

PDF Plan Package: $4.95

Scale: G, (Garden Scale)

Building footprint: 19 25/32" x 14 1/16" (approx.)

Mobile homes have come a long way over the years, evolving from over-sized travel trailers designed for occasional relocation by the owner. They further evolved into ‘modular’ homes, consisting of two, three, or more sections, transported on special frames called floats, usually pulled by short wheelbase, single axle trucks.

Modern modular homes are built to relatively the same standards and codes as “stick-built” homes, and often are placed on conventional concrete foundations.

Plan 654g - Farm House

PDF Plan Package: $3.95

Scale: G, (Garden Scale)

Building footprint: 11 11/32" x 15" (approx.)

Simple farmhouses like this one can be found in various locations across North America and other parts of the world. They were not fancy, but they served their purpose and were relatively inexpensive and easy to build. The simple design allowed for easy additions as the family grew. The gable roof allowed for an easy conversion for an attic bedroom or two.

Plan 1143g - The Jessel House

PDF Plan Package: $7.95

Scale: G, (Garden Scale)

Building footprint: 10" x 17" (approx.)

Back in the early 1900’s in rural Saskatchewan a house didn’t need extravagance or embellishments to be a home. For the typical farm family of the prairies, the main priorities in life were practicality and functionality.

Recycling is nothing new either. This house once sat in Viscount, Saskatchewan, about 45 miles east of Saskatoon, and was later moved to my grandparent’s homestead outside the town of Bruno, about 35 miles to the north.

Scales: G, (Garden Scale) and 1:10 RC Scale

• G Scale 12" x 18" (approx.)

Fort Langley was the site of one of several Hudson's Bay trading Posts established in the early 1800's to handle the fur trade between British Columbia and England. The area also became an important agricultural center. Grandma's house was situated about a half mile from the Canadian Northern Railway station.

The image shown is of the Z Scale cardstock version, but plans are available in 1:24 Garden Scale as well as 1:10 Scale for RC vehicle scenes.

Plan 1243g - Giesel Landhaus

PDF Plan Package: $7.95

Scale: G, (Garden Scale)

The German term 'Landhaus' translates to 'Country House' in English. This cottage, located a few kilometers outside of Hannover, Germany, was the home of the Giesel family before emigrating to North America.

The brick facade and steep pitched roof are characteristic features and can be found throughout many German and other European villages.

Shown is the HO Scale cardstock version. The Garden Scale structure can be built using weather resistant materials, and embellished with patterned sheets from Evergreen Scale Models or other suppliers.

Plan 1478g - Bremen Apartment House

PDF Plan Package: $9.95

Scale: G, (Garden Scale)

Building footprint: 12" x 16" (approx.)

Ask a North American what a typical Bavarian style house looks like and they would probably describe this architectural beauty.

During the Allied bombing of Bremen during WWII, over six thousand homes were damaged, and almost six hundred were completely destroyed. Fortunately this one survived, and like many Bremen homes of this size and era, has been converted to multi family.

Image shows both N and HO scale versions, but the G scale plan package includes dimensioned plans and templates plus traceable templates to construct a proper 1:24 scale version for your garden railroad.

Plan 2428g - Catalog House

PDF Plan Package: $9.95

Scale: G, (Garden Scale)

Building footprint: 16 9/16 " x 18 11/32 " (approx.)

The Parker House is thought to be one of the many kit houses available by mail order in the early 1900's. Although now showing signs of age and neglect, it was once a showpiece in what was then an upscale neighborhood in Vancouver, BC. Unfortunately the days are numbered as this formerly elegant yet practical four bedroom two story home yields to higher density urban development.
