QUESTION: I've never bought any railroad models, trains or buildings before . . . Is there a manufacturer of HO buildings that makes "Western" style buildings? Thanks. CC

Try walthers.com Campbell Scale Models
Western Scale Models are two I like for inspiration. |

Cory, That is awesome. Look at this!!! link That one set alone might do it. Or I could go for these too: link Thanks so much. CC |

I will second Whitewash City. Best bang for your buck out there. Can be shrunk to almost any scale. mjc |

CC, There are a TON of Western buildings in HO. High end, all wood models, to cheaper plastic models. Any HO Train orientated hobby shop should have a selection. |

Plastic is what I am looking for. Will see what I can find nearby, or I might order that 3-building set in that Walthers link. Thanks. CC |

CC and Dropship Why build it yourself – looking at Dropships link the used ones are cheaper so must be ready built  This one comes with a cowboy link but may be a bit modern for you. Forgive me for adding this paper one – basic but workable for a one off link This is not by any chance for a new set of GZG figures are they? Andrew

Thanks so much for all the great suggestions. Looks like I'll be placing a few orders soon. CC |

Wow. I guess those printout-sheet buildings can look awful nice from a distance: link My little "Western Town" will really be a combination of Old West look and "westerned" SF buildings: TMP link CC |

I just bought 18 H0 scale western buildings from a fellow on bartertown. Actually, the link skrapwelder referenced on Bartertown is the lot I bought. Bachman is the manufacturer. There are several duplicate buildings which I will gladly part with if you want, including a livery stable, marshal's office, and some others. Quality is nice; plastic buildings can be put together and disassembled or glued together permanently as desired. I intend to glue all mine together, leaving the rooves free to allow my gunfighters to be placed inside. Hit me offline sgtjj@hotmail.com if you're interested. Jim |

I've just come across this by accident. When I looked at it, the first thing I thought of was . . . Firefly! picture
link What do you guys think? Dan |
| Cacique Caribe | 13 Jan 2010 11:35 p.m. PST |
So . . . is this the formula for Firefly-like towns? Western + Asian + a sprinkling of something else and a little tech? Is that it then? TMP link Dan |
