Not sure where you would find that in a detailed photo but I am certain of this; I have never seen such a horrible version of the Equitable Trust Bank than on that catalog! Who built that one, Martha Stewart?? Walt

I agree. They went a little heavy on the lichen. And that stone work on the front. When I got my first HO trains in the mid 70s the buildings were Tyco(pola) or Heljan. I thought the LL buildings were cheesey looking at the store. But in the early eighties a couple friends of mine built layouts almost exclusivly with LL structurs. In person I thought they looked great unpainted compaired to the unpainted Heljan and Pola I was used too. I paint or at least weather all my buildings now but I still like the life likeX2F

Hey x2f ! I like the Lifelike buildings as well though I have many of Tyco's building kits too. In the early 70s as a kid, the LL kits were about the easiest kits for me to find. I can still see the displays at Woolworth with tons of LifeLike everything & many AHM train cars. Our tyco dealer had to order just about everything. I had several Tyco train cars but no Tyco buildings back then. Walt
