I have been looking for detailing items to finish some scratch built structures such as brick facing, welded metal-appearing styrene sheets, railings and gates, and concrete facing. There seems to be no end to the number of items in N and HO scale, but reltively little in O. I've come across a few places such as Model Builder's Supply Line and Scale-Link, but few others. Does anyone have any ideas where to look?
Thanks,
Tom
"Grandt Line" has a few odds and ends besides windows and doors, you might
try looking there for things. There's also Plastruct, they have some things like that.

Here are a few sources:
Model Tech Studios has a nice assortment in O-Guage, particularly scene building details.

Have plenty of time available when you visit the Valley Model Trains site - you can get lost in there with all the great scratchbuilding stuff they offer.

Micro mark offers some nice brick and concrete block facings in O Scale. They also have a great assortment of tools and the such.
I just ordered some of the brick paper and was very pleased with the product and the service.

Wow! Thanks for all the great suggestions. I have already begun placing orders with Valley Model Trains, Grandt, and Plastruct. I can't wait to start putting on finishing touches. I'll post photos when I do. Much appreciated.
