I'm looking for a cheap mail order house here in Canada that carries Design Preservation buildings. I'm looking for The Harlee and Sons Cycle shop, The entertianment district and The Drywell Inks building. Anyone have any leads or should I just try the US mail order houses?

email d.cool (at) sympatico dot ca His last price list had it at $46.95 CDN
Don't know if that is good or bad as I am in N Scale myself.

Dave Cool (Can Express Lines, as per Will's post above) is pretty good. Also, going from Quebec to BC, you will only be charged GST, no prov sales tax, plus he ships Canada Post, so even a good size box will usually go for under $10.
'Course, with the strong Canadian dollar right now, US$35 is not bad either, as long as they don't ship by courier - they'll erase the savings with cross-border processing fees, and all kinds of other stuff.

Here's a link to Dave's website http://canadianexpressline.com/
It's only been up a short while, so he probably doesn't have everything listed up yet.

Thanks for the Tip on Canadian express line, I just dropped him a line to check on price and availability on the kits.
I just got the prices back from Canadian Express line. His web page listed the kits that I wanted as 46-50$ Canadian. But he emailed me cack and told me the kits were in fact 61$. Now its better that I just go to Internet trains and order them out of California. But I'll still keep Canadian Express line in mind since they carry a number of Canada only items like Juneco.
He seems to be going the wrong way......
With a stronger Canadian Dollar, the prices should be closer to US not farther away.

Will, you'd think so. But my LHS told me that plastic has gone way up in price, and with the weaker US dollar that means US companies like DPM are raising their prices. Sometimes it seems like ya just can't win!
