New Additions Thanks Moonson

It all looks great!!!! Nice layout!!

Score two points for you, Ben!  Frank's diorama and a White Castle for the culinary enjoyment of the  residents of those buildings.  It doesn't get much better than that! 

Great layout,

Great looking buildings.  What was the source or were they scratch built?

If those folks are going to have White Castle right next door then I think the next addition should be a heart clinic.

 

I love them belly bombs but if they were right next door I wouldn't be on this earth much longer.

Right you are, Chris! 

I like it. Nice Job. (nice layout).

The vacant lot is an authentic touch.  You gotta have a place for the inner-city youts to play.

Ben....That scene reminds me of when I was a kid.....  My Dad would go into the White Castle and order about 30 of those "sliders" while Mom and I would wait in the car.  The idea of course was we would eat them for dinner when we got home.  Well.....by the time we got home, at least half were already "sampled"... 

 

We sure missed them when we moved to the south but discovered that a chain of similar restaurants, "Krystal", tasted just about the same!!!

Stoop Ball anyone

John,

 

I call "Chips on the ball" if we do.

 

Great buildings, guys.

Frank is a master craftsman. The buildings are just beautiful.

One of the real joys associated with our moving to NJ has been being able to get freshly made White Castles again. We truly missed to little buggers during our time living in Florida. Think I might run out and get some before picking my wife up from work.

Look great Ben

 Like the way there built seam to have nice detail around them.

 Some one took there time building them like the window detail and small lot in the middle.

Thanks guys   Frank did an awesome job on those buildings  I have to use a better camera than my phone  The lot between the buildings has some awesome detail

they look great.

Chips on the ball only if its a Spaldeen   Those Pennsy Pinkies are junk

Yes they were, but they only cost a nickle and sometimes we didn't have a dime to buy a Spaldeen.  BTW I bought a Spaldeen a few years ago in the NYC gift shop in Times Square for a $1

Found a Spaldeen in a store up here in Schenectady too - but nowhere near the same bounce as the old ones. Bet even Willie, Mickey or the Duke couldn't hit one much more than two sewers with my mother's best broom handle.

Policastro, You have to boil the Spalldeen. Where did you grow up, man? Just don't forget you're boiling the balls like my friend Leon did. Scrappy

Necrails, Each brownstone townhouse is an individually purchased facade, not part of any kit. All the other ingredients, incl. the side and rear walls and windows came from or were cobbled from other sources, as did the figures, trees, and misc. miniatures. You might like to know that the sidewalks are from OGR, which I primed, painted, and lightly weathered.

Thanks, Ben, very much.

I like those Blue comet cars, and I am trying to figure out by window count,

but cant see them, real good.   Is that last car, a lttle bit shorter, than that

next to last passenger car>   A yes, answer will be welcomed.

thanks

 

Hi Terry

That Obs car is a Railking version   I have two Blue comet engines  The MTH early one upgraded to PS2 and the Lionel Legacy one.  I wanted two trains so I mixed up the Premier version cars with the Railking cars to get a different look   The Railking cars are 15 inch and the Premier cars are 18 inch

Thanks, Ben,   that is what I have been doing is got 3 premiers in between, the 15" rail kings.

Just wanted a longer, train, and good to see a confirmed duplicate, IN PICS

and a YES, answer is what we got !thanks
