Buildings For The C&NW Layout

First off, Happy Thanksgiving! It was another good day for me yesterday with USPS. A lot more packages started to come in from Ebay and Facebook purchases.

I knew that getting into N scale I would have a harder time finding items, but I really do like the look of N scale over HO, I am probably in the minority but I feel N scale actually has more detail than HO scale. I did an initial pass of all the vendor tables and did find two C&NW boxcars along with a N scale Freight Depot building all for $20, so I was pretty happy so far. I decided to go and double back now and search more throughly to see if I could find anything else. I cam across a C&NW gondola car, another N scale Soda Shoppe building, then buried under a lot of boxes, I found a KATO Chicago METRA Galle...
