Reply to "Why Doesn't Anyone Make true city buildings in O scale?"

 I'm saying cityscape buildings. Think about Herald Square Macy's or the St. Moritz hotel. Or the New Yorker for that matter. The Tiffany building, Cartier corner or any of the mansions there. Astor hotel, the Plaza,  etc. These aren't buildings that are the width of a freight train car.  

Heck, just think of almost any 'downtown' looking structure in the hobby. I can't count the number of movie theater buildings I've seen on layouts that aren't wide enough to house a wide-screen TV inside. Even the old time small theaters, everyone knows one of them when they see them. And all of them, even the small ones were much larger than the models of them on layouts. Heck, many of the structures on layout representing theaters aren't as wide as the box office of many real-life theaters!
