Walthers Split Level House

[Chris333]

Thing I don't like about split levels is the staircase counts as square footage.

My friend lives in a split level house.  And while it's a nice house, every time I visited, all I could think of was that he had only half of a basement.  How could you build a layout with only half a basement?

It's not easy. And something I didn't really think enough about.

I'd gladly take half a basement.  Down south we have no basements.

We have some interesting split levels in Utah. Full basements are allowed so some of the split level homes will have a basement underneath the living area basically making 4 levels to the house. My wife parents house is that way. My mothers childhood home was as well.

I sure wish Walthers would do their grain series of buildings, and related equipment, in N scale

More downtown buildings would be cool too.

With a water table measured in inches around here I’ll have to pass.

Soon enough you'll switch that to ground table.....

I put my first layout (4x6) in the crawl space of a split level. I had to build the benchwork in two 2x6 parts because of a very narrow egress. The layout is long since gone but somehow the 2x6 pieces of benchwork are now two NTRAK modules.

$65 for the lumber reload. 

Something any primate with thumbs should be able to build with about $9 worth of sheet styrene.

What have we become?

You vastly underestimate this primates laziness.

X = Available Time

Y = Available $


Satisfaction = X + Y

Two independent variables. Many ways to skin the proverbial cat.

The one that caught my attention was the $18 billboard.  I can remember when an $18 got you a large factory, and the billboard was some parts on the window sprue and a sheet printed with a half dozen signs tucked into the instructions for the 120 piece kit.  I wonder which factory kit they borrowed the tooling from?

The announcements this month for N scale are promising, especially the Lumber Transload. I do hope they will the N version Chemical Distributorship they announced in HO. Need more places for the tank cars to go.
