Keep an eye on ebay. You can find some deals. Check train shows or toy shows or slotcar shows also. some times antique stores have stuff like that.

Legos for buildings. And NO I'm not joking. You can build anything with Legos.

Watch feePay for bleachers & grandstands. Search for "rev-a-matic," "bleachers" and "grandstand." Try searching "Plasticville" also for some race track items. "Garage" and "Pit Stop" sometimes also work.

When you're doing your Ebay searches for the above suggestions, once you've scoped out the slot car listings, hop over to the trains HO scale and try there. Once in a while stuff gets listed there because folks aren't sure where to list them.

thanks for the great tips guys..
how about people(sitting and standing) for my afx (revomatic)grandstands?
i think 1/87 scale might be too small for afx?

Check out this place under trains for buildings and things.

Yup... what Tom said...

.. and while you're at the site he posted above ( Hobbylinc )... try to zero in on this brand ( http://www.hobbylinc.com/jl_model_trains ). Beast just pointed out in another thread that Hobbylinc sells stuff by JL Innovative Design. I had no idea until last night, but the suff is great. If you scroll through they have about 300 HO scenery items and a great many are auto/road related vs train related. Even grandstands. Might be grabbing something myself.

Are you interested in used or new kits? I have a few used built bldgs. and
many NIB by Atlas, Aurora (both MM & AFX), Faller, Plasticville & others.

Building on Bubba's suggestion (pun intended ), check out this thread:

I'm finding scale to be the biggest challenge. True HO (1/87) is way too small. S Scale (1/64) is better, but in some cases is too big.

If you're looking for "Pit Crews", search for "Winner's Circle Pit Row Series" (see below)

There's a thread over on SCI on this very topic. Go get it and bring it over here. Lot's of downloads posted there.

 

[plymouth71]

Look for some of these. Perfect scale, movable limbs and they make great crew and track safety personnel.

If you are fortunate enough to have an older hobby shop in your area look around there for estate sale stuff in the trains sections. I found a number of older finished structures and buildings at the America's Best near me. Also train shows- tons of stuff there.

 

[Slott V]

Also search for Airfix Crew figures...

[GTHobbyandRaceway]

Took this one from the AFX Super Coupes set, also had a Pit box inside can see in second pic

I have a few other things in my shop that I had in the Swap and Sell forum. They didnt move but PM me if you are interested. I can get the bleacher people too that are sitting and other random HO buildings people and animals.

I also have not pictured; HO Instafence Kit and Stacked Billboard kit (6 Billboards 3 and 3 stacked, Flying A, Copenhagen, Dodge trucks, Kool cigarettes, Headlight Overalls and Carpenters Ice Cream) That one is very cool.
