TOMLINSONRUNRR,
I think the Whistlestop Diner makes for a great scene on a model railroad. But, even with the kit, it is a bit like scratch-building. Despite that, I intend to buy another for some as yet undetermined future railroad. Send me an e-mail if you run into any problems and want to talk about it. As a former resident of the Boston area, I sure would like to see any documentation to the effect that the real thing was once in Malden. There certainly were (are?) tracks through there.
