Erwin Sell’s Plastic Western Town Building Collection Part Two Introduction

As part of my hobby, westerns had been one of my many interests.  To do it right you need buildings. Western buildings made of plastic are my main interest to accomplish the western scenes . As I collect figures from 45 mm to 75 mm scale  I had recollect buildings in scale suitable for  the different scales.

I had in past I had posted the rare Koler brand four different buildings.  Germany had been since early 20 century a fan of the West. They have done many toy western toys. I have been searching to get many others from their brands. Most are very hard to find in the states. It has taken me many years get them in good to great condition from overseas.

Here I will continue with a non typical toy soldier vintage brand but now discontinued and hard to find building series made by Simba .

While the buildings are nice, the carriage and wagon are a toys. Yet you could have some use for them.

The buildings are four different models and made of soft plastic with minor hard plastic parts very easy to put together. They can be use with 60 to 75 mm scale figures. The buildings look too big for 54 mm in my opinion .

They match up with Playmobil and Italocremona or others same scale western buildings. Great for Ideal, Aurburn ,Beton,Ajax and Timmee 70 mm scale cowboys as well most European tall scale figures as well.

I acquire this set in a full big lot with some partially damage poses/parts . I had set figures and houses with others to give you guys idea of scale suitable with others brands as well .
