    First, I like to scratch build buildings for my HO layout. An artist I am not. So windows and doorways are hard to find for HO size buldings. I have checked ebay for decals, cutouts, and googled for sources, with out any luck. Now I know some of you are also scratch builders, would you mind sharing your sources?:tb-sad::tb-sad:

    Walther's is a good start. Search Walther's for ho scale super detail parts.
    Do a Google search for ho scale plastic doors windows detail parts.
    You can build your Scratch building folder in Favorites.

    Grandt Line makes some good architectural parts for scratch builders. :)

    Walthers has a special selection called "scratch building supplies" in their advanced search engine. Click on it, your scale and enter key word ie "widows" and they will give all they have. It's a good start even if you don't buy from them

    If you are truly into scratchbuilding, just gird your loins and make your own. A "chopper" is a must. If you don't have a "chopper" get one. You will encounter much more success

    I read the above then re-read it twice. Try "windows" as a keyword instead. Grandt Line and Tichy Train Group make nice windows.

    Steve, I chuckled at myself when I finally realized that I was reading what you intended, windows, instead of what was actually there.
