Of the 5 Ameritowne kits with their distinct brick arch type pattern, which kit has the most blank ( windowless) walls:
Marty train depot
Palace theatre
Police station fire station
Antique Shop
Without the backs to look at, I really can't tell

Probably Barrettsburg Tool and Die. It's a large kit with many wall sections, though I don't know how many are windowless.

Unfortunately the Barretsburg tool and die Co. Does Not have the distinct arched brick architecture....Hence the reason why it's not on my list above.
Save for the front, all the kits Ive bought have been the same. A blank, a back and a 9 window wall.
If you want the arched windows, either buy the front you need and a bunch of blanks, or look in the OGR booth at York for the boxes of "oops" sections they've been selling. They snap the good floors off the pieces that don't come out right and sell them as individual floors at a great price.
Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately I think many of you are misunderstanding what I am looking for. I will post a picture tomorrow as to what I am looking for.
Pretty sure the movie theater has 2 maybe even 3. I have bought numerous kits over the years. I found it more economical to buy a complete kit. I think I've only built 2 following the instructions. The rest became flats or 2 or 3 sided. Often times I would use the walls for a larger structure and use the fronts to form a large downtown type area. Many times using duplicate fronts to add extra floors. The blank walls with the arch brick insert works well on a large industrial structure. They are great for adding vents or signage.

Rich,
Any chance of getting some brick blank walls that have the stone foundation around the bottom of them? Id like to use them in lieu of all the door openings on the BB tool and die, but the brick "floor line" that sticks out doesn't line up well, as noticed in the pic of the middle building above.
I'm not trying to hijack this thread, and would gladly continue via Email or PM.
Chris
nice buildings, are they easy just to make flats with them?

Guys, He is looking for the blank wall above on the right side that has the arched brick work without windows. These are not available as a separate wall units.
I just received the Palace theatre kit second hand. It appears this kit has TWO side walls that are blank. The back has the upper three windows and the lower two windows and doors. I suspect the antique shop or possibly Marty's train depot are the same. Don't forget one could "fill in" the windows with Plastruct brick pattern styrene- however it remains to be seen which plastruct pattern matches up size wise for the brick sizes.
PRRHorseshoeCurve: I believe you have answered your own questions. You said that there are "Two all brick with the distinctive arch sections included with the Palace Theater" and a front and a back wall. I do not recall seeing the sides and back of the 5 kits in that OGR Series...
Perhaps a call to the OGR could answer your question, and it is possible that they might have some spare walls available. If you need a significant number of wall panels, and you do not want to go thru the hassle of buying on the used market, calling OGR or making your own casting of that wall section.
I have admired those sections myself...and IF they had a similar wall section with a loading dock...well, you can see where I was going with that.
Best of luck on the hunt.
