A new house on the layout



Sometimes you are lucky and today I had a good day. I received a beautiful tin building with a nice lithograph for free from a person who cleaning his house and gave it away. So, the best thing to do, is to put along side the tracks and run some trains. The house is made by Bing and has a diamond sign with GBN (Gebrüders Bing Nürnberg) in the middle, which means that it is German from before 1923. Although the house has many scratches - a proof of much former joy- it will be easily restored with some paint if I really feel like it. But, currently I am hesistant to put a brush on it and reacon I will leave if as it is, well for the time being. The house has two floors, one door, seven windows and a chimney. Perhaps it was meant to be signal house along the tracks of a toy train. Well it has found a suitable place on my layout.
