In HO Gage... Can anyone tell me where to get "old western town" buildings, circa 1870 or so. I'm building a Christmas/Winter layout with snow cover which goes from the far northern California mountains to the Pacific Ocean, complete with a fishing village and lighthouse (I built from scratch). Now I need a foot-hills town with general store, etc. (I have the train station, water tower, etc.). Now I need the rest of the town!! The trains are all 4-4-0's. I've created my own HO Santa and sleigh (usingt a 6 diopter magnifier...gees!), toys, stuffed bears, etc. and they all look pretty real, if I do say so myself. The trains are all decked out for Christmas too. Now I need a town for Santa's train to pull into! I don't reli***he thought of having to scratch-build the town as well. I'm into extreme realism. Any thoughts out there? Most buildings kits are either too new (early 1920-1930 etc.) or too "big city" like New York, Chicago or San Francisco. I've checked Walthers and other on-line dealers and various stores to no avail. It seems as though the 4-4-0's and the Old West are passe! John Canino
