Several years ago, a husband and 2 sons approached me about building this replica for their wife and mother, as a surprise. The house was up North and they lived here now. The wife and mother was an artist. She drew the house she wanted and gave it to artetech for the plans. I let them know when it was finished and I brought it to the Farmers Market. They gently strolled through the different vendors. When they came to my booth, you could see her eyes perk up, she quickly pointed and said that's my house. They tried to confuse her but she would have none of it.

Well, it's not what I hoped to hear, but it was the realistic expectation .

The Sevierville Court House likes some finishing touches.
This will be a one and only one. Depending on how I feel will determine when it will actually come up for auction. But, I will accept bids anytime until the close of the auction once it starts.

As of tonight the high bid on the John Oliver Cabin is 200.00. I wanted this by itself until bidding closes since it is easier to see for you and me.

I do not know if or when I will build any more buildings. I have stomach cancer with spots on my liver. Hopefully after a several months break I will be back in my shop. Right now, no one knows. Rather than sit and collect dust I am going to offer my current inventory to the highest bid. Please PM me with bids. I am starting with this John Oliver Cabin with LED lights. This will end at 3:00 CST Tuesday Feb. 38. I will post others or post adds. These will be signed and dated in case this is the last one. I am sorry for the confusion. I normally just set my ads in Coreldraw. I switched computers now my X6 disk is scratched and drive can't read it.

I now have a dedicated email address for orders: miniaturesby [email protected]. it is natural to want to put 2 L's in Philip, so this will help to keep emails from bouncing back. Sometimes I receive orders on fb, messenger (2 accounts), email (3) accounts and on messaging. This will make it easier for all.

I began building this barn on the YouTube channel "New Track Modeling, https://youtu.be/l30T8zBRXQE. Last night's show may not be up for a day or so. This little barn is built put of wood I ff of an old to***co barn and is probably approach 150 years old. This will be part of my inventory and it sells for 59.00.

This is Mr. Nichols looking at a replica of his family store in Nolensville. As I posted earlier, when Mr. Nichols was around 4 years old, he got a ladder and climbed up to the top shelf to get a red ball. He received what he called a whipping that he remembers to this day. He is looking at the windownof the replica where a red ball is on the top shelf.
