I am looking for some stls for Houses and other buildings so I can make a town scene on my layout.
I have searched thingaverse and all I can seem to come up with id mostly HO buildings (might be entering wrong search terms) I was wondering if anybody had come across some in their web meanderings.
They do not have to be highly detailed just basic houses preferably timber but brick would be OK.

Re: Houses, buildings etc stl wanted
I suspect that you will struggle with this one I'm afraid, Graeme. I can't say I've ever seen anything ( not been looking mind) and unless looking for a specific building, for most people it would be a lot quicker and probably cheaper to use more conventional sheet materials. Just look at the amount of printing that Trevor has had to do for his epic Festiniog constructions! I can't remember exactly but it took me about a week to print my water tower.
I have just had a quick look around and found this, don't know if would scale though.

Turbosquid seem to have quite a few houses of various types, but again scaling might be an issue

Graeme,
I think you would be better served by designing and printing your own buildings. Designing your own opens up so many possibilities that it has to be worth a try. Your buildings would then be exactly as you visualised them, and would fit into the spaces on your railway perfectly.
More effort, including learning a 3 D cad package. However I am sure you could achieve what you want with tinkercad, which everyone seems to find straight forward to learn and use.
Don't worry about the time taken to print things - that is mainly at night when you are not there. My large buildings just required perseverance!
Start with a small building - and see where it takes you.
