Many of the buildings on the current DV&W RR layout are commercial plastic kits.  Most are relatively unmodified, though painted and weathered for a more realistic look.

All buildings have lighting installed, some have more than one light installed for separate sections or floors.

The interiors of the buildings have been painted also, to prevent light from shining thru the plastic and to give the interior a more prototypical look.

I anticipate some modifications in the future, for the replacement layout that is in the planning stages.  Many have extra details installed, such as electric meters, plumbing vents, etc.

The Hays Station on the outer Mainline. This is a Hallmark Structure I picked up on Ebay.

Beachfront Store and Ice House. The Store is a LifeLike kit and the Ice House is a LifeLike shanty.
