Went to the Hallmark store last weekend and they had a couple of the tin buildings. Oicked up one for 50% off of the $15.95 price ($7.97). What a deal!
Going to do what George S is doing. Remove the rood paint and mask and paint as I go. Planning to apply a frosted plastic to the inside of the house for the windows add a new light system Try to see what to do with the roof to make it a bit more realistic/tinplate, apply a wrinkle paint to it? Should be a quick/fun project.

Found that my local store still had 4 left from the holidays, so I bought one and I may go back for the rest. Also grabbed one of those Wow Toys HO Christmas sets for $8.00 (Amazon wants $30.00). Great 1st train gifts for grandkids and great-grandkids and the whistle will drive their parents absolutely batty.
