27237 Cabin Creek Company House Kit HO/HOn3/HOn30... by BTS (Bills Train Shop) Cabin Creek Company House Kit HO... (Laser-Cut Wood) The model consists of laser-cut wood parts that build into a realistic building. This can be built on hillside as shown or on level ground. With the need for a strong workforce in isolated areas, coal and timber
companies found that the establishment of company towns provided a means for
attracting and controlling the labor supply. Workers rented the houses from the
company, bought at the company store, and as a result, workers owed their souls
to the company store as related in the 1950s song, "16 Tons." The company houses
ranged in size from small to large, single story to two-story, and a variety of
duplex designs. This company house was inspired by one from Pickshin, WV. You are buying an HO building kit to use on a HO, HOn3 or HOn30 layout or diorama. Thank you! Happy Bidding! |
