I received my assembled Ameri-towne Post office and Fire Station today. Tanya did a great job assembling and painting them. Now I need some details such as non powered exterior light fixtures for each side of the fire house garage doors, chimney stacks for both buildings, and some detail fixtures for the post office interior. Any suggestions on where to find these items are appreciated. Also pictures of these 2 structures with your details added to them will help me greatly. I also will be checking source and sponsor lists on the OGR forum. Thanks.

Yes they do, and yes they do.
Berkshire Valley has lots of what you will need. https://www.berkshirevalleymodels.com this is just a sample page of many. Don
If you care to have a vine climbing a side of your firehouse, a piece of string wet with diluted white glue and spinkled with green grass works. Press it against the building and let it dry. John
I've never tried Berkshire, but I will now. Thanks, Scale.
Use chalk to weather them.
1) Shave chalk into a powder.
2) Take dry paint brush and push the chalk powder into crevices.
Here I am making asphalt look more gray instead of freshly paved black.

I just finished one of their buildings.
Tichy Train group has nice stuff too. The gantry and pallets came from them.
