HO version of the kit built to match the 1923 sketch. Windows can be in open
or closed position. |
|
Artist's sketch from 1923 shows the original kit garage you could buy and build
yourself. |
This is an actual 1920s design from a mail-order garage made by the
Gordon-Van Tine Co. You could find garages like this all over the country. Our
model will allow you to build the garage as shown with a half-hip roof, or with
a conventional gable roof (not shown). We also include an alternate
garage door in the kit in case you'd like a more modern look. The tri-fold
garage doors were considered "fancy" at the time and most have been replaced
with overhead-hinged or roll-up doors for use with automatic garage door openers.
We will offer this kit simultaneously in N and HO. A third party will
be selling the S scale versions of this kit, with details to be announced later.
And O scale version will be available soon.
Key benefits
- Slot and tab construction simplifies assembly and provides perfect
alignment each time.
- Ultra Shingles™ come as a
single peel and stick sheet with a photographic image of rows of shingles.
These fool even the best of modelers.
- Details like the trellises, carry-through beams on the ends, and
rafters.
To learn more, we've provided building instructions on-line.
Variations
- Hip Roof: Can be built with conventional gable roof or with the hip roof
as shown above.
- Side/Back Door: One of the small windows on the side or back can be
replaced with the included door.
- Window Position: The side and back windows can be installed either in
the closed or open position.
- Garage Door: The main garage door can be installed in the closed or open
position. Additionally, we include a separate overhead-hinged door for a
more modern look.

Here is the more modern roll-up door, along with a conventional gable roof. It
also shows a door instead of a window on the side. |
|
The folding doors can also be built in the open position so you can detail the
interior and/or have a vehicle partway inside. |
