Several years ago, several old houses from an
dismantled former layout were sorted out, as there wasn't no use for
them on the current club layout eny longer. For a small contribution to
the club, members could take these models. So I took the chance to
aquire some of them; originally I planned to use these houses on my old
NOCH
layout which I was just remodeling at that time. Unluckily, there was
no place found
for this house on this layout, and some urgent repairs had to be done
on it otherwise. So some time it was just standing around on the shelf
and watiing for better days to come, until I finally started with its
renovation. |

The house recieved a new paint with Plaka
Coulors. A number of details were added on the roof - skylights,
for example. A new entrance door has been installed as well. After
all I some grass was applied around the house on the base
plate. Other interesting new details include a dustbin or the
bike leaning against the wall, but also the lamp.

| I went on with this house in a quite similar way, which, however, came from my own collection. This is a Faller model, but
one of the newer series. However, as a remainder from my early model-making the days, the kit hadn't been assembled very
carefully. As one of the first steps, it got new paint. Various parts were replaced, or added, like a new
entrance door for example. Morever, the house was extended with a garage. The edge
of the garage roof got the imitiation of a metal covering - I used aluminum foil! |

But there are more interesting details, so for example
the large terrace and the roof terrace. There was a special timberwork
on the roof terrace, but however, most of its crossbars were allready
missing. Fortunetaly I found the imitation a of wavelike-structure
plexiglass, which I stuck on the timberwork. Note
that also the windows were changed - they got new bars,a fter
most of the old bars had been removed. The new bars were made of 1 mm polysterol sheets.

| At all, no real
substantial changes were done, only various small changes like the addition of
new details or the replamecement of special parts, and a new paint of course....but
nonetheless, also these two houses now have become intersting unique
pieces. |
