Joe, Another idea: It is often possible to buy assembled kits on EBAY in lots very inexpensively. I am not talking about the craftsman dioramas that go for big bucks, instead I am referring to the lots of plastic items (some of the brands mentioned already in this post) that might sell 6 buildings for $20..00. For some reason shoppers on EBAY seem reluctant to pay big bucks for assembled buildings (craftsman kits aside) and in my eyes they are some of the better bargains still left. Some are junk to be sure, but other stuff is quite nice. I see these lots quite often and have personally sold several very nice assembled buildings on EBAY for very reasonable prices. Try searching the HO data base under buildings or lots or assembled/built up With younger kids, some of these buildings could be just the ticket because they could handle them and put them around the layout as they pleased with little worry about damaging an expensive kit....Young kids don't care about the detail, they want to handle the building and really play with it... From the modeling aspect, these buildings could be inexpensive guinea pigs for modeling techniques. painting, etc that you have the boys help you with... Just a thought, Guy
