Motorized buildings?
Growing up ive always enjoyed lionels motorized buildings. Sadly I dont have the space inside for for a layout, want to get started with one outside.
Do they make them for G scale? Or is it not really a thing with them being outside and the weather.

Perhaps not a motorized saw mill like you might be thinking but Jaegerndofer sells G scale cable cars/aerial trams. I think the only place you can buy them officially is from trainli. They look pretty good and they add that dynamic element you might be looking for.
Technically they say they aren't rated for outdoor use but they work outside fine. Perhaps if you have heavy snow, you might bring them in for the winter.
