I’m just getting into scratchbuilding and I’m wondering if anyone has a suggestion for the best place to get HO scale windows and doors on the web. I’m considering Grandt Line products but don’t know the cheapest place to get them.
Any suggestions? A web address would be most helpful!

Most internet hobby dealers don’t handle the small ticket items like this. Not enough profit in them. Unless you’re buying a large quantity of them, figure on paying at or near retail for them.
As Tom said, the relative price of most items is so small you will not get much of a discount wherever you purchase them.
I have gotten pretty good deals on Tichy/CMA parts at Timonium when they were there. You might want to look at some of their castings for doors and windows. You can order from them directly.

Walthers carries a lot of items,you might want to look there,
for other manufacturers,besides as you know Grandt Line.
I model in O scale,and have recently completed a couple of
scratchbuilt buildings,using Grandt Line doors and windows…
To me,they are as reasonably priced as anybody elses;and
the quality and detail can’t be beat.
Try here just order enough to make shipping worth it. They do discount from retail at least.

Alexander Scale Models (now distributed by Tomar Industries) makes metal doors and windows. American Model Builders has some and laser cuts them from wood.
