Back before the pandemic, I was collecting buildings from the "Sylvanian Families" range from boot sales and charity shops, with a view to using them as a basis for buildings around my the garden railway. I've never got round to doing that work (and with an energetic dog now having taken over the garden, I can't see that I ever will) and I now need the space they are taking up.
I have a number of different designs (and several of most) but this . . .
. . . gives an idea of what they are. The fronts and sides are made of plastic in a planked effect . .
The rooves are only cardboard, so would need to be replaced for garden use, but they do have plastic framing. For their intended use (as childrens' dolls houses) they are always open-backed, so either lend themselves to low-relief buildings, or would need two identical buildings fastened back-to-back. The doors are oversized for G-Scale (but that just poses a challenge, right?)
If you fancy taking up the challenge, start a "conversation" and I can supply photographs of the other designs. As to price, I'm only looking for a few pounds each (maybe up to £7.50 for the largest ones). I might be persuaded to post (tracked) within the UK with postage at cost but it might be better, if you are coming to the Midlands Garden Railway Show (Warwickshire Event Centre) on the weekend of 12th/13th March or the London Festival of Model Railways (Alexandra Palace, London) on the weekend of 19th/20th March, both of which I'm attending as an exhibitor, I could bring some along for you to view and, if suitable, take them away (cash on collection, please).
Cheers
David
