Need Help With Building Accessories

[Anonymous]

Guys

This is my first post to the board.

I am just now restarting my passion for building model railroads as I have been out of it for some time. Anyway, I'm in the process of planning for my next O Gauge layout and of the features I am going to have will be several animated scenes and several towns.

My first question is in concern with buildings. I am going to use the MTH firehouse w/ animation which I love. There are several other buildings that I would also like to have but haven't been able to find more than one sorce. They are:

1) The car dealership. MTH has a nice looking one, but I'd like to see some other examples of some before I decide on this one. Any ideas?

2) The Police Station. Again MTH has a decent one but I'm looking for one that possibly has anamation to it or looks more like a station house. Any Ideas?

3) The airport hanger. I'm from Lock Haven, PA; home of the Piper Cub. I see Plasticville has hangers and an administration building, but they have "Plasticville" in the front. I need a blank hanger to change it into the Piper Airport. Once again, any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Well, I'm not too sure myself. For the airpost, I'd try making some signs on perhaps cardboard or something and sticking over top of the Plasticville signs. Also, if they're original Plasticville buildings from the 50's or 60's I wouldn't advise doing anything that could wreck them because they are collectables. The best advice I can give you, however, is to post this topic in the Classic Toy Trains forum rather than here. I guarantee that you'll get many more responses. Good luck with your layout!
