does anyone know the appropriate size house (dimensions) to be used with HO trains?

HO scale trains use the 1:87 scale. Basically, 1' = 87' HO scale.
If you planned to use a house that's approximately 40' x 85' (just an example with somewhat even numbers), the formula would go:
(40' / 87) x 12" = 5.51"
(85' / 87) x 12" = 11.72"
Those would be the dimensions for the house.

HO scale is 1:87. So it depends on the size house you wish to depict.

HO scale is 3.5 millimeters = 1 foot, so an HO scale house that's supposed to be 10 foot high would measure 35mm.

Get a railroad timetable, then you definately can adapt your form trains to run to time. in case you're good at computers you would be able to desire to establish digital Command administration (DCC), your locos will could desire to be microchipped and related to a working laptop or computing gadget controller. examine out the British rail modeller magazine Continental Modeller for good deals on HO scale locos and rolling inventory.

I don't think you understand what is involved. This article from an American magazine may help. http://www.modelrailroader.com/mrr/default.aspx?c=a&id=275
