Would love to see a 3.75" ish figure in a shot with a building. Lots of possibilities... fairly cheap too. $30 for a building. Not bad if you don't mind doing detailing yourself.

Some G scale works ok, but 1/24 may be too small. The Pola stuff I have is a bit small but workable, although I think it is 1/22. One of the scale RR guys could likely comment.

Digger,
I still like the looks of that brick Factory! The brick scale works well with the 1/18 figures!

There are quite a few Pola and Playmobil buildings that work well with some weathering. The nice thing about the Playmobil stuff is you can find it, sometimes, at thrift stores. Another nice stone building/castle that works with modification is the He-Man series "Castle Greyskull". And of course we all know about the "Pirates of the Caribbean" mill!

The POC mill is probably the cheapest set right now as some of the WM's are putting them on clearance. I picked up mine for $10.

I like the look of those buildings...but most attractive is the price.

Although they might be 1:24 scale, if you can change the doors and maybe a few other things about the building...I think they could work.

I'd like to get some.

Cheers

I have lots of POLA G scale with my 1/18 figs and I love em. I have heard the Garden Rail guys say the Pola is too big for the 1/22. I think they are perfect for 1/18. Especially when you consider that the time periode these were in Eruope people were smaller on average when these buildings were constructed just like the old homes around here @ New Orleans were for folks 1850 and back.

Unfortunately it is. But decent deals cab occasionally be had on Ebay. It is of such good qaulity it really holds up and holds it value over the years. bery heavily made. It is made so that it can be used outside with Outdoors trains. I bought one building and a piece was missing. I contacted the POLA manufacturer in Germany and they sent the piece in less that a week via airmail. I guess you get what you pay for.
