Loren, Loren, Loren,

Cinder blocks (single and stacked), laser cut manual black and white crossing gates (simple non operational ones), pre-painted (colorful) junk piles, modular brick walls (like DPM or Walthers), accurate sidewalks (length, width and height), street elevators, cardboard boxes, building window awnings. Hope this enough to keep you busy.

John,
I'll have these out by this afternoon :o)

That's a good list and FYI, I know that some of those are currently in the developmental stage as we speak.

Can you post a picture or send it to me of the crossing gates you have in mind?

Ohhh it is turning into a wish list..I was thinking a news stand would be a good city thing. Even a good size town would have those. That would be a great little laser kit, perhaps with different ads for different time period. Ike Wins, Nixon Quits, ect.
City Mouse/Country Mouse. John is good with details from the big city. I am really cramping my brain to think wht we have out in the country. Anyone know what is good to use for making Z haybales. Guess you need the small square ones and the big round ones..I know there are some in HO.

Kelley,

You mean like round wrapped hay bales? NSM makes those: www.zscalemonster.com/nansenstreetmodels/nsm-30030.jpg

Robert Ray did a model of a horse barn some where and scratch-built very realistic square/rectangle hay bales.

News stands would be great. I already have a set of Luetke Modellbahn laser cut wooden kits: www.luetke-modellbahn.de/shop/product_info.php?cPath=94_135&products_id=478 that I'll be modifying to look like NYC news stands.

Republic Locomotive Works has a turntable for Z scale along with an indexing system
Dwight

How about farm items that are more realistic such as a tractor, manure spreader, etc?

Loren,

I second simple traffic lights and the crossing gates I was referring to were the simple hand operated ones that were around from 1890s to 1970s like this one: www.trainsarefun.com/lirrphotos/stations/Sta-Xing-Shanty-GreenptAve-Blssvlle-12-70.jpg

This list certainly is growing nicely. Oh, to be the one who could provide all of the wanted items.

If time continues on without somebody blowing us all up I think eventually we will see all these items become a reality as the scale grows.

Catt, how about the MTL military guard shack for parking lot guard shack. Checkpoint Charlie or Charlie's Parking lot, not much difference

Lots of stuff out there for water. Lots of folks like airplanes. No room for an airfield? What about a PBY or Grumman flying boat amphibian airplane? Make sure you can have version with wheels down or waterline version with pontoons down. Make the Swabbie/Coastie version (good place for hangers and barracks in a scene) or civilian version.
Oh dont forget they are used to fight fires--all those loggers out there. I did find somthing here

Thanks for this site Kelly--- A PBY would be awsome!! It's a pretty bird and has historical signifigance as it found the Japanese attack group before the battle at Midway and other scouting operations.
