In the late 1800s and early 1900s the horse car lines in San Francisco were being electrified and so there were a surplus of horse cars. Many of them were purchased as small homes and ended up on the dunes near the ocean. The community became known as Carville-by-the-Sea (or simply Carville).
I'm creating a small diorama with a Bachmann On30 trolley (which is pretty close to what a horse car looked like) and added curtains and some weathering. I just need to add a couple of people.

Wow! looks great so far!
One of my friends loves to build dioramas. This reminds me of the beginning of one of them!
Can't wait to see more!

Does it have running water, electricity, and bathroom amenities? I hope so!

Nice! Plenty of windows. It might lack a little privacy. Well done!

I like to see these reuses of old equipment, both in full size and in models.

Great link, Busss, I'd never seen any such arrangement
before, and certainly never those brands of gasoline.
Major cool, thanks for posting!
