O Motrak Models Sardine Fisherman's House 43002 - O Scale Craftsman Structure Kit

The O Motrak Models Sardine Fisherman's House 43002 is a premium craftsman structure kit designed for O Scale (1:48) model railroad layouts. This historically accurate kit reproduces a prototypical sardine fisherman's house from Eastport, Maine, representing the style of small coastal housing that once dotted the New England coastline in many locations.

Historical Background

These modest fishermen's shacks were a common sight along the coast of New England, particularly in fishing communities like Eastport, Maine. Built to withstand harsh coastal weather, these simple structures housed the hardworking families who made their living from the sea, particularly in the sardine fishing industry that thrived in the region during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This kit captures the authentic architectural character of these historic coastal dwellings.
