Jetrock: On the subject of 'mission style' buildings there are indeed many standing examples of the style ...in all sorts of sizes... from tiled sheds to large terminals. San Diego union terminal being the prime example of large railroad architecture. As to structural materials, stucco walls are available in both plastic sheet and hydrocal. Tile roofing is available in HO as both plastic sheet and individual runs of tile. Thus roofs are not a problem. Sheets of 'spanish' tile flooring are also available. The real lack is in windows. To my knowledge there are no examples in HO of swing out 4 and 5 panel windows. In the end I will likely have to 'bash' single hung windows or scratch build them. Windows are specially imortant as the structures are very plain and undecorated and windows catch the viewers eye far more than on a brick or wood structure. If you or anyone else knows of a source of 'wood 4 or 5 panel swingout windows' suitable to HO scale, or a small wondow jig, I'd love to know of it. Randy
