Recently, while rummaging through the files of an old USB
drive, I found this list of ten HO gauge structures I had planned to build from
scratch. Although, I have no intention of building anything from this list at
this time I thought it peculiar finding the list. I thought I would share it
with you.
These structures could be built with the materials I have on
hand. Perhaps, someday when my interests are drawn back to model railroading, I
will build a few of these structures.

door from the scrap box with shingled roof.
