Dick is correct except for one aspect. I've found it very difficult of
modify any of the laser produced kits. Those notched micro-fit pieces
generally do not allow for much modification. I also think this applies
to some of the cast resin kits.
That being said, I was thinking about filling a vacant lot in my town of
Deerlodge a few years back. What I decided the town needed was a store
with a residence above it. All small towns and old time shopping
districts have these. I put together a two story wood framed dry goods
store with a kitchen in the back and bedrooms above. I was just coming
up with dimensions off the top of my head for the most part. However
after mostly scratchbuilding my own 1:1 train room addition it was
really pretty easy.
