After spending 40 years in the construction industry on projects such as nuclear power plants, commercial buildings, hospitals, power switch gear yards across the United States. Always enjoying handmade items at craft shows I happened upon a local craftsman from Lemoyne Pa. who made one of kind railroad cabooses as bird houses. These bird houses are working models and birds love them. The craftsma
n who made these had to stop due to health concerns. To honor him and his craftsmanship I have carried on the tradition of building these fine one of a kind caboose bird houses. I have visited retired railroaders from the Pennsylvania railroad, Reading railroad and Maine Central to name a few of the railroaders and guilds to get the correct coloring of the houses. These caboose bird houses have been purchased by people in Maine, California, Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Ohio. I have exhibited these at crafts shows and showcased them at the Hershey Garden show in the spring of 2010. The bird houses are working models made with easy cleanouts no tools needed and will provide both a conversation piece and years of enjoyment. When showing this caboose bird house, remember the original craftsman from Lemoyne PA. who made these possible for you to enjoy in your yard.
