What do you guys on here think of Imex structures?

I’m thinking on buying a couple for my layout:The Mid State Bank and the Woolworth’s.

Couple years back,I bought the Supermarket.

Looks nice.I need to modify it just a little:An Ice Machine and Coke Machine out front;a stretch of sidewalk;some shopping carts and shoppers.

Which leads me to my next question:How would you go about making a mechanical horse for a supermarket??I’ve been brainstorming on a way to do it.Any suggestions??

The Imex buildings strike me more as backgroung pieces, as they are solid & dont easily allow lighting etc. As far as your supermarket horse, an “N” scale horse should be OK on a simple base. My[2c]

Or better yet, a Z scale horse would make a nice HO storefront “ride” for children

Thanks Lou.For the most part,I plan to use the Mid State Bank on one of my towns because it just has that Small Town East Texas look about it,so I really don’t have to worry about lighting.

Drive through most small towns at night and very few buildings are lit up.

Anyway,TABunch for your opinion.I appreciate it.
