The very first, FIRST, were the Strombecker wood model kits.
The first powered HO steam locomotive, was a Varney "Little Joe" B&O 0-4-0T. I still have that loco, and some of the kit rolling stock ( that Swift Reefer right behind the 0-4-0 "is a steel side kit" ) I built to go with it, on :
Yes, some of those buildings were paper kits ! :o

The seaport village and museum "Gift Shop",
last gray building on the left, below.
