Thanks for standing up and being counted Lionel Fan. I see there was a similar thread on Model Railroader's forum recently and even they got more response.

I know they did copy some the HO stuff in N but I don't know if they did others. I wonder what the last new building Bachmann marketed as Plasticville was in any scale. In my mind if it don't have those big snap together tabs, it's not Plasticville.

Midnight's firehouse is not Plasticville. It might have been a Boley prefab model. Not sure.

A favorite of mine is the Plasticville Tower, + also the signal bridge.

The N scale Bachmann houses are quite good for forcing perspective.

Yes two of my favorites also.

Since Plasticville is sometimes oddly scaled, I have found some of the large scale stuff usable in HO. Here is the Court House which is designed after Independence Hall in Philadelphia. After doing the math I find the real thing is still three times as tall in HO. I did add some details and changed out the doors and windows. The other is the TV station. I just changed the door and added the signs. I still need to blend it into the area
