More likely to find O scalers over on the Classic Toy Train forums.

Good luck,

Richard

I haven't tried the Bollinger but have been quite pleased with the results of the roofing products from Rusty Stumps.

If you want to know how big the O-scale shingles are, try contacting them:

Brian and Jill Bollinger are friends of mine and they're great people. 

As for their peel & stick shingles, I think they're a very good quality product.  The trick is the application.  You have to get them on the roof straight and consistently overlapped.  And that takes time and patience as even a small house has a lot of shingles on it.
