Interesting you mentioned those kits.

we do have some similar types of parts for these cement and brick type of structures in O Scale.  We intend to look at doing these if there is interest after we get some of the tradition structures back on line.

What do you think?

good idea certainly. but, truth is there are lots of factory/warehouse structures available particularly if you are into craftsman kits. for my money, I think the real "hole" in the o gauge market is hi-rise office and residential buildings. there are some great modelers on the forum who excel at ths type construction (e.g. alan a.k.a. "leavingtracks") but the ones i've seen are mostly scratch built or kit bashed from mth structures and more modern in era. there are virtually no kits or modular forms (DPM seems too limiting in design) for high rise buildings of the transition era and slightly beyond. With a few different modular wall designs, one or two retail and residential first floors and a couple of diffeent top moldings plus some creativity from the scrapbox, we could build some very credible skyscrapers.
