Joe:
My Empire State and Chrysler buildings are much smaller than O scale. They are assembled, 3-dimensional jigsaw puzzles. But, placed to the rear of the city scene, they still tower over everything else and also give a forced perspective effect.
@Randy Harrison, are your 3D puzzles the foam core type or are they jigsaw puzzle type "cardboard"? I have a 3D Empire State Building, the base of which is in the upper left of the picture of my LAGO New York City. I believe I've posted it before but here's a better photo of that one.

It has been many years since my now 30-year-old son assembled the buildings but, if my memory serves me correctly, they were foam core.
It is Tuesday, and I didn't forget.
Looks like some stories were added to the MTH Jahn's Ice Cream Parlor building.
This is a new one I've never seen before, in person or in photos. Looks like an architectural model like the beach front resort hotel on the layout.
Thanks for posting, keeping the layout alive a little longer.
