It's been "pop" around these parts for as long as I can remember. Cheers

It's actually quite common in this part of Illinois too. I do remember when it was " soda pop ".

Steve that little shack looks amazing!

And I love the chalk details you added to the street in that picture you posted a few pages back Misngth

Re: Good things come in narrow packages - Steve - 08-22-2010

Thank you guys!.........we say POP here as well Wink

Rose's has finally recovered from the infamous "Blow Dryer incident"

I have re-done the store front and added the porch posts. I will be adding more signage after I get the gas pumps and other details done.....I want to make sure that I don't over-do it

Steve, one little thing that sets this apart is the rails on the back steps. They look "right", not too big for the scale, just right. All-in-all, another wonderful structure.

Steve---I've run out of superlatives to describe your work Cheers

Steve,

Amazing as always !!

I am really looking forward to seeing this little building all done sitting on the layout ready to take care of the town folk.

That building is just neat enough that it may start showing up across the country!
A "chain" store........and maybe even one that actually sells chain! Big Grin Big Grin

Now that, ( They look "right", not too big for the scale, just right. ) is the real trick to a good looking model. Thumbsup Thumbsup

Thank you everybody! Thumbsup  I really appreciate the encouragement and kind words Wink

I have planted Rose's on the layout. The gas pumps, oil cans/barrels, and Pepsi chest are from JL Innovative. The additional signage was found online and shrunk to size. I have modernized the gas island with era appropriate pumps and I also added an old style Sunoco sign. I chose Sunoco because that brand was on one of the proto pumps:

Mr. Rose is not so young any more, but he is still on the job........and he wouldn't have it any other way! Wink  Thumbsup

I like it! Thumbsup

Now, what worries me is that as you near completion of your layout, you're going to get the "Kurt" bug and tear this one down and start a new one!
