Title: Lionelville
Post by: Braxandur on May 30, 2008, 10:05:02 AM

I just bought loads of plasticville and I'm really happy with it. However Plasticvilel is more rural outback country and not really suited for inner city (at least not in my opinion).

I looked a bit more around and found the Lionelville buildings, which are O scale more suited to my taste. However I haven't seen them in real life, nor any nice pictures next to miniatures.

I was wondering if anyone out here has some experience with them and/or some pictures to show?

I did found the following retailer:

I've never seen them in person but they do look cool!

I have not seen them in person, but at that price, I may just order some and see what i think. I have a bunch of O scale buildings already and I think they work great. I happen to use Ameritowne, which are a little pricier than the Lionel ones but not outrageous.

 They make extensive use of the Plasticville buildings at the COZOCHRON. Highly sought after is the hospital, it has a semi interior, and paints up like any kind of futuristic building. I also like the apartment building, which can expand by adding floors to it!

Aah yes, the COZOCHRON, well know to me since a number of my mates regularly have articles in there. However, I already have the plasticville stuff.... that's why I'm now looking at other stuff. The table always keeps wanting more  ;D

hey bandit

could you take some pictures of them? (with miniatures next to them if possible) No need for very elaborate pics, just the general idea of scale and look.

Braxandur; I do not have any pictures of my own but this link was at a game I saw at Fall in 2006. I bought the buliding after seeing how well they fit.  The figures that were used in the game were copplestone, and the buildings were Plasticville, Ameritown and Lionel (pretty sure).  I think you can see from the pictures that they fit very well.  This is not my blog site or my game I just watched it.  Hope this helps
Ok I guess it would help if I posted the link
