That's great, Les. Interesting that one set has Japanese-labeled instructions for the lights that don't make any sense with these houses, since they only have one hole, and the instructions make it sound like they have two. Also it's ironic that the rest of the set is just as fanciful as the pieces I have. Considering they're European, post-war. Did they really think we had log cabins and stockades in 195? I'm guessing the "castle" is a church. Looks a tad more like a church with the steeple.
