Here's my BOTW offering:
Tyco's "Under Construction Homes" seen here in a throwback shot of the Ephrata Valley Railroad, when they were first installed years ago....
The present day.

Good to see you, Gary. I've not seen this photo before, thanks for sharing, or
resharing.
Love those Tyco "under construction" homes, again, these look like Plasticville,
so was Tyco swapping those dies, too?
Marvelous displays, Ken. I've only seen that Lincoln Funeral car in photos. That
one is one my list of "must haves."
I can't recall if I already posted this one, but like Mick Jagger says, "...but I
like it..." Almost pink, lighted Tyco factory. I had to bump the trailer unloader
to make room for it!

Tyco Center Street lighted Miracle Furniture. Detailed inside and out. Paint is a series of similar light yellows with a haze of white in areas to resemble an older, faded building with some original white paint finally becoming noticeable...

Thanks Chops, I'm glad you like.
I have a fond memory of shopping with my Dad at Christmas time and buying those three houses under construction at a C. F. Murphy dime store. I was no older than 13 so it was about 1968. I do remember them being am AHM offering. When I see them now for sale I keep wondering if I could bash them into one larger building.

| We had one of those Lincoln Funeral Cars at our club a few years back, think we sold it loose, no box, for $35. Someone may have gotten a steal of a deal!
