I was at Walmart the other day, and I came across a number of Christmas / winter theme buildings, all lighted.  They looked like they would work in O scale, although they didn't list a particular scale/size ratio.  They were all lighted (110  volt, incandescent).  Here is the best part, only $14.88 each.   Now, I personally don't use buildings, but it might be worth the time to check it out if you're in the market for some relatively inexpensive, and fairly good-looking buildings.  Stores, churches, houses, taverns and so-on.  Located in the Christmas decorating section of the store.  Bob

I really liked the article in the December OGR about how to customize the ceramic buildings for an all-year layout, including hiding the snow, wreaths, and garland.  With the cheap price of these things (especially on eBay on the off season) and with the wide variety of structures available, I think they are a great option for people.  Some of them are really detailed and realistic and some of them are small enough to be the right scale.

One thing to consider is the old expression that you get what you paid for applies here. If having a seasonal related structure is all you are looking for, then this would be a good buy. But if you are looking for something that really has detail and is nicely crafted, there is nothing our there that beats D56 buildings. You will pay much more, so it is all about the effect you want to achieve.
