Hey guys I just came across this E-Bay store and its going to make you either crazy or bankrupt, I don't think I have ever seen such cheap prices for Kato, Tomytech or Tomix buildings not to mention all the other very useful terrain items, there is some 50 pages to look through but it's well worth doing so as there are so many bargains to be had. I picked up four Tomytec large office buildings for £30.00 GBP including shipping I only wish I could have afford more, anyway happy shopping. :) Zac

Pretty amazing prices on the Tomix track, too.

Oh dear is right! Pardon me while I wipe the drool off my face.

Ranging from £5.00 GBP to £11.00 GBP for the big Tomix buildings and £4.00 GBP to £7.00 GBP for the smaller Tomytech one's with combined shipping how could anyone resist. :D

Pardon me, but I'm not sure, as to which scale is closer for 15's "HO" or "N"? I could use a lot more stuff for my boards, buildings and cars and alike but I just don't want to drop money on something that would just look wrong as far as size goes.

Are your 15s actually 15s, or are they 18s? Does a figure represent a man, or multiple men?

War Monkey03 Aug 2015 8:22 a.m. PST

More on the line of 18s with quit a few Peter Pigs which I believe are true 15s and base all my figs to represent one man

elsyrsyn03 Aug 2015 1:27 p.m. PST

Japanese N is 1/150th, IIRC, so it would be much closer to 10mm (or 12mm in this age of scale creep) than 15mm. HO is 1/87, so rather large for true 15s, but just might work for 18mm-ish figs.

Many people use buildings "one size down" so N buildings would work with 15mm.

MajorB is quite correct. I follow that seller but haven't checked them out in a while. Great pricing.

By some accounts I've read the Auhagen Ho/TT range of buildings are spot on for 15mm. Mine you they focus on "modern europe" in terms of building types, perfect for cold war era. They don't do modern urban like the japanese guys do.
