I'll keep an eye out or build my own clamps then. I'm sure I'll find some eventually!

The houses look great! Are you putting them on the hill as you go?

I'd try Micro-Mark for the clamps.  I don't recall where I bought them, but I'd be surprised if they didn't have them or something equivalent.

I will not put the houses on the hill until we are much closer to the end.  I have a good idea of their position, but still need to work out the exact slope(s) and the places for the sidewalks and stairs.  The street (Highland Avenue) is on a single piece of 1" styrofoam; it's the base.  I'll install that and then place styrofoam sections to prop the houses at the correct elevation.  Finally, I will use that Great Stuff / quilt batting technique to create the hillside itself.  Once built, I'll put the houses on it.  I do have to be careful to allow the lighting wires a route to the buses below.  The cross-section plan shows the concept (I hope).
