I have recently purchased GoodFellows hall by DPM. I have located a Pool table and cues but have not been able to find anything else for inside the hall. I am looking for Mostly a bar with stools and cant find any. This would be in HO scale. hopefully someone can help I googles and everything only finding O scale.

if you can go to you LHS and check the walthers 2006 ho catalog. there is an index so all youd have to do is look for what you want.

if all else fails try to build it yourself or maybe some kitbashing.

hope this helps

Actually,
I have the Walthers 2006 catalog and found nothing of what I am looking for. Of course that doesnt mean it doesnt excist because I know Walthers doesnt carry everything I do live 35 minutes to 45 minutes away from them. Just like I am after bleecher seating for a baseball field and I dont want to purchase a whole kit by busch to get one.

Have you tried Ebay? I have found some very uncomon HO related parts/items on there. Ebay definately underscores the old saying that one man’s junk is another man’s treasure!

Milwhiawatha,
Actually, go to the Scale Structures, Ltd division of Jaks Industries, Inc :
http://www.jaksind.com
http://66.241.223.134/merchant2/merchant.mvc?
and you might find some pool hall interior details in the Fezziwig’s Furniture section. They also have lots of other interior and exterior details. My paper catalog shows a full pool hall interior set, but they may have cut back a bit.

I was just at a well-stocked hobby shop (trains and other stuff too) and I picked up a few things off the Evergreen plastic pieces rack. They have all kinds of shapes and strips in styrene. Even if you’ve never tried before, cutting and modelling in styrene is very easy. The materials are cheap, so if you don’t like the result, toss it and try again. For a bar inside a building, you could even use cardboard. Half-inch carpet tacks would make good stools, and you could put a couple of booths along the walls, which would be easier to model than tables and chairs.
