They were bloody well-built houses though.
Virtually all of them were constructed of native hardwood (mostly solid rimu) at the old railways' house factory at Frankton in Hamilton, then railed around the country in kitset form and assembled on foundations on site. They also supplied them to most of the other government departments who provided housing for their workers.
There's a lot of them around the country still in bloody good condition and they seem to be in demand whenever one comes up for sale, either on a section or for removal.
