My BOTW this week is a pre-built Arlee N scale station I got a few years ago. There's really not much more to say about it actually.

I just searched the restaurant and the town it was in and found that photo. I would actually like to go there at some point.

That is a quaint small town scene. The trees, lamp posts, and mail box make it look like some of the well-maintained small towns I see when my wife and I explore the back roads of North Carolina. Very nice job!

It represent the typical New England downtown of a small town in the 50's before the advent of shopping malls and big box stores. This is from a photo of a real block in the town of DANA Mass. which disapeared along with 4 other towns under 150 feet of water when Boston built a reservoir in western mass.

that rico station is fabulous. love the detail and weathering work
