[quote]Originally posted by orsonroy Model Power makes the largest line of American-prototype two story houses in N scale: http://www.walthers.com/exec/search?category=Structure&scale=N&manu=490&item=&keywords=house&instock=Q&split=300&Submit=Search Doing a more general Walthers search for "house" yields 20-30 kits appropriate for your needs by several manufacturers (stay away from Pola & Faller): http://www.walthers.com/exec/search?category=Structure&scale=N&manu=&item=&keywords=house&instock=Q&split=300&Submit=Search And a search for "home" yields fewer, but as useful kits (especially check out Atlas): http://www.walthers.com/exec/search?category=Structure&scale=N&manu=&item=&keywords=home&instock=Q&split=300&Submit=Search Finally, look to Tichy for a great and extensive new line of N scale windows, doors, and details: http://www.tichytraingroup.com/index.php?page=view_category.php&category=Framed+Windows&offset=0 Scratchbuilding houses in plastic, in N scale, isn't hard at all, since you don't need to add as much fine detail. I model in both HO and N, and scratchbuild structures in both scales. N scale is by far simpler, faster, and easier than HO, and doesn't use up nearly as much materials (for example, a single sheet of Evergreen clapboard siding and a single sheet of Plastruct HO brick sheet - for shingled roofs - yielded me about 40 8x12 section houses in N scale, for about a full Saturday's work!) BLOCKED SCRIPTinsertsmilie('[8D]') Cool [8D]Thanks a lot ORSONROY! IThe links had been perfect. I have just made my orders. The Tichy Shop gave me the right hint for my downtown area bringing up a little of the Chicago fascination scratchbuilding some big buildings. There is one more thing - maybe you can help me aswell: The most important details that make a town look American are fireescapes and rooftop water reservoirs. I have the common dpm buildings in N scale. I mention the rear sides of the buildings would look great with theese exterior ladders. You know where I could get some?
