I too like scratch building from wood. You would be amazed what you can build from matchsticks, toothpicks, strip wood, and glue. Another overlooked source for cheap background stuctures is plaster, porcelin, and resin "village" buildings like walmart sells at Christmas. Put them in the back of your layout with lots of trees and vegitation around them. A couple years ago I purchased a resin abandoned train station with old rusted out loco at Hobby Lobby that was so good I built a scene around it. Poeople admire the worksmanship and detail that the building appears to have. Only me and my hairdresser know for sure.
