I'm on the hunt for some HO Scale buildings, and I'm needing some with 1950's looks to them Awnings, neon, etc. Studebaker dealership or a vintage theater would be nice. I'd be more than happy to trade, in fact I prefer it. This is getting expensive for a custom. This is all part of a Back To The Future Hot Wheels custom scene for next month. I NEED THESE SOON!

I ALREADY HAVE THE COURTHOUSE ON IT'S WAY!

Anything that looks like the buildings here:

Hey I'll PM you tonight I have piles of HO railroad stuff .Lots of buildings and structures. I need to thin out this stuff. I can probably hook you up . I'm always down for some horse trading.

Cool, we used to have big sets of model trains back in the early 80's back when I lived in Jacksonville FL but we got rid of the stuff years ago when we moved to another home.
 
I missed an auction on the street lights...darn. :(

I check the DC number on my court house...it is only a couple states away! I CAN'T WAIT! :lol:
 
Have you considered making your own buildings with cardstock? Much cheaper than buying building kits, but takes a bit longer... and Hot Wheels (1:64) are a bit bigger than HO (1:87) scale, closer to OO (1:76)

I just got back into it, building an HO set for my son. Check out some of these printable building:

There are others like this, you can probably find more.
 
Really? This whole time I thought Hot Wheels were in their own class being the odd 1/64. I've had them of the train board for years. Then again, I am biased with HO given space. :mrgreen:

It's not very common, but it does exist:

There are photos of a superb S-gauge layout in the Plaststruct catalogue.
 
I've got most of the buildings, thanks to spokeshave! I am still hunting down a a couple more pieces.

IN THIS PIC, I need a theatre:

IN THE CLIP AT 2:04. Studebaker dealership, or one that can be remodeled to look like it. There is also a Ruth's Department Store, I need a building that somewhat resembles it.
