Here's my BOTW offering:
Here is the exact same Walthers Hole-In-One Donut Shop kit that I posted for BOTW last week - except now fully assembled and installed on the Ephrata Valley Railroad!!! I built the "Ephrata Hole-In-One Donut Shop" using hot glue, and painted the doughnut on the roof with acrylic paints. What do you guys think?

Nice contrasts of donut sprinkles and autumnal colors.
Like the Air Mail truck. I used to write overseas letters
and wait a a week or so for return reply. During the
War of Independence, correspondence updating
the Envoy to France, Ben Franklin, would take
at least 6 weeks to reach him. Now I correspond
with pen pals in the UK at the tap of a key board
at the speed of light.

Neat Donut Shop RP, looks good in its setting. I was going to post this one last week when you originally posted, but the site was not working for me. I have the opposite problem on my layout, too many eateries. So what does my wife bring home from an estate sale?
A 'McDonald's Classic' from the Official McDonald's Collectibles Club. Scales nicely to HO. Dpn't I have a great wife or what?

| The Buildems Life Like McDonalds kits were produced without McDonalds permission and was ordered to stop production and recall the ones from store shelves. At one time these kits were selling for right at $300.00. Price has seemed to come down on the ones found today...
