Special Improved Model with new details by Tim Muir

Joint Project Tim Muir and Chris Gerlach

1910

This is an enhanced Ocean Park Style House with new Shape Files and many many fine features by Tim Muir, based on a start up file by Chris Gerlach. Tim has added a lot of new elements including a full back porch and greatly enhanced the house. A Matching Garage is available.

These houses were prefabricated at the factory by a number of companies in the United States between the late 1800s and the mid 1940s. Some of the major catalog companies including Sears carries their own brand of houses as well. the parts were delivered to the construction site numbered and 3 men could build most of these style houses in 300 hours. Many remain and are highly prized by their owners and potential buyers. These models are medium pol and are intended to have both night textures.

Built from historic plans. It shows all of the characteristics of the notable Craftsman style, wide and sweeping eaves, heavy beans supporting a wide spread roof, elegant fenestration and fixtures, and usually either wooden siding or shingle wall treatments.

This set contains both individual houses and matching early garages which were also designed as carriage houses and stables.

Most of the houses also have a coal chute, mail box, door bell, and some have other detail features.

More different styles of this series will be made.

This model includes night textures. It is medium poly so can be used for both MSTS and Open Rails.

Rights and Restrictions: Model is Copyright Tim Muir © 2017. You may contact him for permissison to repaint or alter, but it may not be converted or used in any other purpose than free non commerclal use in MSTS and Open Rails without his permission. It is an honour to share this joint project.

Installation:
Place the shape and texture files into your route folders and add the ref entry to your ref

list. I use the 257 texture setting so that this will correctly display both snow and night

textures.
