Well, almost free. Just follow this link. http://www.igshansa.de/igsdownload.html
The instructions are all in German, but you should be able to see what has to be done. If you have trouble trouble downloading them directly, right click and save the target to your hard disk. I f you still can't download them for HO and N scale, send me your email address and I'll email the PDF's to you. There're 15 for HO scale and 3 for N scale.

I promise, no spam.

Jeff;
If you RIGHT click, and at the bottom of the pull down menu, LEFT click on "Translate this page to English." You won't have to read German! LOL

Most HO or N scale layouts I've seen are indoors. Rainstorms are not an issue unless you have an extremely leaky roof.[(-D][(-D][(-D]

I downloaded a couple of them. I'm going to try printing them on heavy paper and see how that works. Or I could print them, then cut out and glue to cardstock. Thanks for the link, though! Or if you want flawless printouts, take them to a copy shop on a floppy or CD and have them printed on a laser printer.

think about this....with a copy of photoshop, you can now edit in any shipping company logo you want, change the colors of the containers, etc. so the possbilities are endless!!
