Hi All! Has anyone got a clue who the manufacturer of this building is? (the redbrick one in the top left hand corner). It's used in a couple of places in the AQMF rules book and is visible in the background of the Kickstarter videos. Thanks, Craig  |

Here we go, a couple more pictures that show the building that I am curious about:  Left side with the red brick and arch windows.  Left side again, closest to the top of the picture. 
And once more, left side again, closest to the top of the picture. What sort of a building is that meant to be? Thanks, Craig |

Wander on over to the HO train section of your local hobby shop. A quick flip through a Walters HO railroad catalog will give you more building ideas than you ever thought possible. They carry products from lots of manufacturers and have US as well as Euro prototype buildings.
They have a website, too, but they have so many products that thumbing through the catalog is way faster--no waiting for pages to download/update.

Boxholder, Thanks for the suggestion. For far, I've got a few DPM buildings to be assembled, as well as some woodland scenics buildings, some cardboard ones, and a couple of IHC buildings. I am just starting to build a few of the kits now. Here's some of my works in progress:    Craig |

Very nice mix of media for the buildings. Not being constrained to a single medium really opens up the possibilities.
Who makes the metal ones? I have never seen those before.

Thanks Boxholder,
The metal ones are from Woodland Scenic.

Nice line of stuff. I've spent hours 'thumbing' through the online Walters catalog. Its incredible. So much stuff, so little time...
TY for the listing on the "Pure Water" building. Have to look that company up. Model Power right?

Arms Hotel (11900) Craig |

Building 5: There are two contenders for this, with very similar kits, built with a slight modification:  First contender is:  And the second:  Not certain which is the most likely anymore.... Craig |

Building 5 is the Society Hill town house with the decorative masonry from roof level installed lower down. The fraternity house version is the same model in different coloured plastic - there's a kit in the model shop a few blocks away.

I've added a few extra pictures to help people identify some of the trickier models.
Number 10 has me stumped!
