I am wondering if anyone can recommend some pre-assembled or easy to assemble "modern" industrial / city / transport building structures for my O scale layout.
I am a new / novice railroader and don't really have time or skill to build much of my own scenery. I would just like some buildings that my son and I can run our trains around. For various reasons, we have decided on a "modern" (post 1960) industrial / city theme for our layout. I have browsing on-line to find structures (Lionel, MTH, etc.) but most everything that is available has either a country / rural look or a 1930-1960 era design (more charm I guess). The closest things I could find were an MTH Freight Depot, MTH bus station, and the Lionel Amtrak shelter (I know those are small, but is that thing really to scale?). Can anybody recommend some post 1960 style structures for stations, depots, warehouses, utility buildings, etc? Otherwise, I am going to start cutting up shoes boxes and painting them (maybe that will be more fun for my son and I anyway). Thanks.
