Rene, one of my favorites is Precision Products. They offer an idea booklet, plans, plus windows, doors, walls and roofing, all at very reasonable cost.

Here is the website:

Rene,

You can add Smith Pond Junction http://www.spjrr.com/ to your list.

An admirable undertaking! I would suggest that the scales they build in be included!

All my trains & rolling stock are 1:29; therefore, structures in 1:20.5 or even 1/24 are not of interest to me! I care not about the 10 foot rule, a 3" tall door on a station that a car having a 2"tall door pulls up alongside just looks stupid to me! I'd rather do without!!!

Yes, Capt, the goal is to include the scales they manufacture in the list, along with the types of items they make (commercial buildings, city highrises, etc.)

Not complete buildings but sells stuff for the scratchbuilder. Kinda unweildy website, but the catalog is very good.

Hi Rene
Cannot add any to the list
But I do think the list should be a bit more expansive than just the US.
I can think of a number of times where a building I wanted was from other
than US manufacturers or arcitectural style.
Like the rather nice lamp hut I have made by Lineside Delights they do a number of small structures that are of use to a small garden railway
Admitedly 16mm scale but still nice small buildings reminicent of UK narrow gauge practice.
But they may be of use to someone who is a bit short in the space dept and still wants signs of human life and somewhere to stop a train..
