Need a Church
Posted by nitroboy on Tuesday, November 8, 2005 7:18 AM
I am looking for a nice big church to go on my layout. I have looked around quite a bit and cannot find much in the way of churches. I would like it to be a build-up kit, not ceramic or Plasticville. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Vollmer makes a large cathedral for HO scale. You might be able to change out the doors for a smaller church building in O. Here's a link:

Scratchbuilding one wouldn't be too hard. You can make the stained glass windows out of transparencies.

I scratchbuilt a church awhile back and used clear plastic from one of my kids toys. I colored them to look like stained glass.
