farrellaaGuess I can go ahead with the scratch plan.
If it actually was a kit, you can be certain that someone will let you know approximately 1 hour after you post the picture of your scratchbuilt model.
I saved the photos from some source on the internet but it has been a few years. I normally list the mfg or source when I save them, but not this time? I finally drew the plans for it and started to scratch built from styrene and planned to use cedar shingle from a couple of sources and realized how much it was going to cost: so, I thought it might be cheaper to buy the kit, but as you all can see I couldn't find a kit. I tried all the sources mentioned in the replies myself before posting, hoping someone would recognize it. I held off ordering the shingle/shakes as well as windows/doors until I was sure there wasn't a kit. Guess I can go ahead with the scratch plan. Thanks for all the response and your efforts to locate it. I will post pics when finished.

Life is what happens while you are making other plans!
It looks familiar. Wonder if it has been kitbashed, which is causing the varried responses.
Have fun,

Can't tell from the pics but if those are shingles, then this was scratch, based this on the type of shingle.
Fine Scale Miniatures is still around.
That structure has more of a South River Modelworks look to it, but I don't see it listed. I don't see it in the list of FSM kits, and I checked a few others like Bar Mills, Sheepscot, Builders in Scale, and FOS.

Bob,
Out of curiousity, I looked at many old & new kits from many sources and could not find it, unless I missed it or it was a scratch build or kit bash. Interesting building though. Something to search with:

Take Care!

It appears to be a Fine Scale Minaturers Kit.
They were located in Massachusetts, as I recall and each kit was a limited run.
Usually produced one or two kits per year.
If you have access to hard copies of MR from around 1973 through 1990, you would see their full page ad around the 1st of the year.
The January 1974 Issue of MR has a 2 stall roundhouse kit by Fine Scale, that retailed for around $39.00.
Does anyone recognize this kit or know who makes it in HO? Or, maybe it isn't a kit??
