My BOTW is the old firehouse from the Life-like Buildems series... Very common, nothing special, but I just like this ole place...

These buildings have become so ubiquitous that it can sometimes be easy to overlook just how terrific they actually are. Truly and outstanding and versatile kit.quote:My BOTW is the old firehouse from the Life-like Buildems series... Very common, nothing special, but I just like this ole place...

Life-Like still makes that fire station, actually. I have one on my layout.

Yep, which is why I got it for my layout, as I really like the look of it.
Oh yeah, I also finally finished building my Exxon station from Pola (IHC version, no manufacturer mark on the bottom for some odd reason!)

I don't really like how those IHC kits just use pictures for the instructions, and the parts are not labeled by number. I forget if the TYCO versions were like that too (they probably were.)
Now I just wish Walthers or someone would pick up the Pola kits!

| I too have the Exxon Station Wiley but over the last few days have been thinking about not using it. It's really tiny compared to Tyco and Life-Like buildings... Have not made a final decision yet...
