Modern Day Scenery Ideas Needed
Doug has this question for readers:
I am building a 4×8 ft n scale layout, and I need realistic modern day buildings cars and trucks. I am finding limited items via Walthers and Woodland Scenics. Any help would be appreciated. I am in the U.S.”
SUBMIT YOUR QUESTION
have tried Wal-Mart in the toy section maybe the match box cars are what you are looking for. For larger cars i.e.1:43 I have seen them at our local grocery store (Schnucks in Illinois and Missouri). Lots of luck.
Try local model train shows where you live or close by.—donj
Doug;
You will not have all the options of HO but you should be able to find some vehicles at Model Train Stuff & Hobbylinc. You can also try e-bay
Larry–Doug is modeling N scale and the old Matchbox cars are closer to HO in scale. Athaern has a few N scale vehicles and ScaleTrains.com has modern containers. I would also check with your local hobby shop.
custommodelrailroads.com has some great kits
Hi Doug,
I find most of my late model cars and trucks at 3000 Toys.Their shipping is good too. I have found some nice buildings with Walthers Cornerstone. Hope this helps you out.
