The buildings...

 

Houses and shops. The bread and butter buildings.

The school. Or it could be a church hall or village hall - a very useful building!

Definite 'town only' buildings - fire station and bus station.

A factory and garage (or workshop building?)

The mineshaft opens up a few possibilities... Haven't painted the Silurians yet...

A few of the plastic railway model buildings that could fit. One of them is a brewery of course...

A size comparison - mainly height of doors and whether 2 stories match as regards height.

Another size comparison. Wouldn't mind a few more of that central building, would make a lovely crescent around a town centre.

Not sure how these would fit regarding style. Some of the buildings I've got need some bits gluing back on!

Stylistically some of my other buildings would seem to be OK sizewise, but not sure if they would fit in. The 'new' buildings are all very robust wargames style rather than very fine detail or generally look a bit frail.

I have several churchs but none are really a 'good' fit  - this one is about the closest and would do at a pinch.

Meanwhile, a slight oddity. The back yards on the shops have much lower walls than the houses. Not sure why - generally, all back yards tend to have high walls, some houses would have front yards with low walls.
 

So that's how it stands at the moment.A reasonable collection and enough to build up a good town/village.
