I am at the stage where I need to start buying buildings for my layout. I am looking for realistic buildings. My layout has a mountain in it and I want to put a building on the top of it. Im really looking for a saw mill type of a building. I have been looking at a company named Mesa Models and there are a couple of buildings I could use but am looking for a saw mill type building, which they really dont have. The building they have I could use. Does anyone know of modeler that has the kinds of buildings I am looking for or has anyone done any business with Mesa Modleler?
Here’s on to check out, they make stuff in all scales.
These buildings look fantastic, about as realistic as you can get.
A lot depends on your budget.
Here’s one from Valley Model Trains… more of a Craftsman Kit, and the price reflects it.
www.valleymodeltrains.com Seems they have a new website, and it’s ont working presently. I have ordered from them, and they are very fast and reliable.
Western Model Works also produces some great logging machinery. (below)

You may also want to look at HO kits since you want to place one on the mountain tops. A smaller model on a mountain would represent the illusion of distance and add realism to the scenes. You may also want to try to scratch build a model from balsawood. Have fun!
Here is a link to manufacturer.

If you are also looking for someone to build it drop me a PM and I can give you a few names.
