Looks great on the layout! I like the looks of that liquor mart too!

Unless I have had a total memory crash, that kit was the Revell Superior Bakery kit. Over the years, it was repackaged under other names, and then by different manufacturers, but I don't recall what they were. I have a box somewhere containing a bunch of those walls and windows. I have used some of the skylights in other applications.

Bil's right: that kit was first released as Superior Bakery, then appeared as an enginehouse, and again later as the Daily Herald printer/newspaper. I wanted the bakery version but ended-up with the Daily Herald, which had a really cheesy-looking (well-done, but not in character with the original structure) modern front. It was saved from my first layout and later languished for many years in a box, broken down into its components. I finally resurrected it, with some simple modifications, as the auction building at the Lowbanks Stockyards:

Very impressive SG. It works well with the liquor store, enhances the area's industrial & working man look. ... Thumbsup

Great entrepreneurial skills, from a .50c unused warehouse to a million dollar business in a few lessons.
