You can download buildings to cut and assemble, and if you poke around the rest of the site (such as the Illinois Main Street Project Archive at the bottom of the page) you can also find nice elevation drawings and photos that could be useful as well.
What's good about this one is the styles are varied...not just "cute" victorian storefronts.

These are excellent! Thanks for sharing the link.

Great link Dan!
I wish I'd discovered that before I'd decided to make a rural layout and built some 40 odd trees

New here just cut a T scale building today and want to see what you think. It's made from card stock and has double thick outer walls. Roof is not glued down and colors are just what felt tip markers I had around here. let me know what you think, might even do some more.more photos can be seen at www.rslaserkits.com/cardstock.html check the bottom of the page.
thanks
rich

Looks pretty good. Is that actually 1:440 scale (half-Z)?
The Z stuff looks good too. I've always loved old buildings. |

Yes, it is half of Z . just had to see if I could do it . But was surprised that it was not that hard to do, but then have done 1/350 ship models.

Excellent work Rich! Welcome to the wonderful world of T Gauge modeling!
Is that Strathmore cardstock or another type? It looks great!

Nice looking building! Very clean lines. Can't believe it's cardstock

Thanks Guys, was fun to do and might do more if there is a call for it.
Robert I believe the card stock is 110 or 132 pound card paper. In fact it is business card stock. I would not use water based paint on it but felt tip pens work great. I mght try sealing it with clear then painting next.
