RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted January 2, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 2, 2016 Heads-up Scalescenes' fans, John has just released a revamp of the Terraced Houses (was TO22 now TO22a). Looks to be a winner with optional front gardens, bay windows, (very up market!) optional yards and out-buildings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hello, can anyone tell me if these kind of terraced houses could be found in small villages? Markus Hi Markus, This style of terraced house was very common in Durham pit villages and I imagine in other northern coal fields. Hope this helps. Regards, Brian.

jonny777 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hello, can anyone tell me if these kind of terraced houses could be found in small villages? Markus If you have a small but long established (from the early part of the 20th century) industry in the village, you would probably find that a row of these houses would have been built for the workers to rent.

Wherry Lines Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 A brilliant aspect of John's kits is that they are infinitely customisable. I could build a very close model of my own house from this kit (and I don't live up north!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted January 2, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hello, can anyone tell me if these kind of terraced houses could be found in small villages? Markus Well, they are going to be found in my (model) small village. How about using one of the textures other than brick? The ashlar or random ashlar would look very rural.

Chubber Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hello, can anyone tell me if these kind of terraced houses could be found in small villages? Markus Hi Markus, Cottages TO19 certainly would, I think the terraces would in areas where there were workers to house, as has been said above.

BG John Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I agree about T022a, as they could appear almost anywhere in the UK where mass housing was needed for workers, but T019 seems more like something that would only be found in that form in particular areas, so may need some local research. To me there's something odd about the window layout, especially the bricked up one in the end cottage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me there's something odd about the window layout, especially the bricked up one in the end cottage. I put a window in mine. I thought it more likely that a window would have been put in than one taken out. I know some buildings are designed with blind window openings but surely each house in the row would have had one.

BG John Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'd have thought that almost any terrace like that would have been built with each house the same. Any changes made over the years would be apparent from differences in the brickwork. Or is the end one bigger than the others, and has two bedrooms at the front, while the others have one?

RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted January 5, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2016 The end house is the same size as the others. In my world, a family had a couple of sons and one girl, so two bedrooms were made out of the front bedroom so she could have some privicy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubber Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 If the row is kit-bashed into a corner house, would it not light the landing? Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted January 5, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 5, 2016 The stairs would have gone up behind the front door and the landing lit from bedroom door borrowed lights? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted January 11, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 11, 2016 Having purchased the revamped kit, I wanted a row of four houses to go next to a row of four terraced cottages. Here's the first block to which a second will be added. These are to be, in my world, a development of the cottages so not to make them too different, I will omit the rear gable portion. The front remains the same. but the back is flat. It's made up of two side walls still joined together and a part of what would have been the gable end wall. As the cover layers were not as tall as the front cover layers an extra row four bricks high was needed. Middle cover layers added. Then the two end layers. The gaps will be hidden by a dividing backyard wall and weathering with pastels. More soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted January 12, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 12, 2016 I have begun to make the second block of the four-house terrace, again it will be flat-backed. The sills have been added to the original block and ends fitted ready to be joined to the second block when its finished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted January 14, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 14, 2016 My build of the terraced houses minus the rear gable continues a pace. The second block is now united with the first block. Window frames from Shapeway are in the first floor, yet to be glazed before curtains are added and the ceiling and roof put on.

RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted January 15, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 15, 2016 Upstairs windows glazed and curtains fitted today. The guttering has been put in place and a start made with slating the roof. I have now run out of slates (CD3D self-adhesive ones) so will have to order some more. A view of the front.

RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted January 30, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2016 The roof slate sheets arrived and the slating has been finished along with the chimneys. I forgot to order more large sash windows so the front still needs two. The main build is more of less complete, just the backyards to make, then it can go next to the terraced cottages on the layout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwinian Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'd have thought that almost any terrace like that would have been built with each house the same. Any changes made over the years would be apparent from differences in the brickwork. Or is the end one bigger than the others, and has two bedrooms at the front, while the others have one? It was (or so I believe, according to my old man who was a quantity surveryor specialising in old buildings) quite common for the builder to have one of the properties for themsleves (presunmably partly/wholly funded by the others), this often being a little grander than the rest. I think this usually meant they were a bit bigger but probably not always. Seems like enough justification for the extra window to me. Of course in later years that extra window may have been closed. Just a suggestion for a justification not chapter and verse. I'll post an image of my S.wales set version once I've sorted out the chimney pots (newley acquired from Lanarkshire models).

RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted February 2, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2016 Save for the need of a couple of large sash windows, which are on order, the terrace is finished. Also needs bargeboards which I forgot, see the "white" in the first photo. A view along "the backs". Next in line is a row of four complete with the rear gables. I may just put a bay window in an end one for the goods yard agent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwinian Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 They look really good. Surprising how different the appearance is with different textures, Here are my Welsh miner's cottages. Only 2 rooms heated per home hence 2 pots per chimney (unless the flues combined of course). The card/paper thicknesses were a little out so I've ended up with some small mismatches and the downpipes are not as proud as they should be.

RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted February 6, 2016 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 6, 2016 As you say, the texture makes the small terraced cottages look very old indeed. Anybody used a different texture for their terraces? The near downpipe looks fine, it may be the perspective that makes the others thinner but they do look different. I cut my downpipe sections a little wider than the kit allows then trim them down if they are too big. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may just put a bay window in an end one for the goods yard agent. Looking nice. Very nice. I just about got mine ready to plant down. Just got the final pieces to add, mainly the roofs. I've gone and added bay windows to all four houses and a bit of weathering to one of the rear yards and some lighting and the like into one of the houses. The only problem I do have with theses is the limited space for customization and furniture. I did add a partition wall in the front bedroom of one of the houses to split the front bedroom to have a box room or en-suite but it did make it rather cramped with no space for furniture.
