Greg J. Turinetti posted:I have been reading on various threads that the craft store Michael's has a variety of tin buildings for sale that might go with O gauge trains. I stopped in at the local Michael's today and looked them over. I purchased two items. Most of the buildings are unpainted metal. I chose one that looks like it could be some kind of industrial building.
This is the water tower that they had available. There was a windmill too but it had a plastic tail fin and the bladed wheel was also plastic; so I passed on that.
I think they look pretty good together.
And here they are with an O gauge American Flyer engine.
Most of the buildings are unpainted. You can find the entire assortment on their website. I believe they are 40% off in my local store through 11/3.

I wonder if these would be large enough for Standard Gauge? I guess the wife gets to go to Michael's tomorrow. I like that industrial building. I've painted some of their metal buildings before and they come out looking pretty good.
