Please Help Identify This Diner Accessory with Pepsi Signs
Posted by AirMojo on Thursday, December 8, 2016 6:43 PM

I spotted this diner accessory watching an awesome YouTube video of Ron Stevenson's train layout...

My Dad worked for Pepsi Cola for over 35 years and I have lots of Pepsi stuff and a few Pepsi cars on my o-gauge train layout... looking to add some more.

Can anyone provide some information on this diner accessory, make, model #, etc ?

That building would be a Mini-Craft, which may or may not have been made for American Flyer.  It would date to the post-WWII era.  Not sure of the number.

Town and Country hobbies was selling very similar new production buildings not all that long ago. I don't know whether they still do. Maybe they have something you'd like.

 The singular form—e.g., "the United States is"— became popular after the end of the American Civil War. The singular form is now standard; the plural form is retained in the idiom "these United States" Frohes Neues Jahr 2017 bilder weihnachten 2016 weihnachten 2016 Frohe weihnachten 2016 frohe weihnachten polnisch frohe weihnachten 2016 spanisch clipart Frohe weihnachten 2016 frohe weihnachtsbilder 2016

I did not read your post fully and only noted later that you indicated you saw the building on Ron Stevenson's layout.  I know Ron and have been to his house.  He has an awesome layout.

I finally found an American Flyer #271 set on ebay that I could afford and managed to buy.

I went to the Greenberg Train Show In Monroeville in February, and one vendor had a set in the original box that was priced way to high for me.

Anyways, I added the set to my train layout, and made some custom Pepsi signs with some "vintage" unused Pepsi bottle caps... I made the sign stands from basic hardware bolts, nuts, washers, epoxy, and International Red Rustoleum paint that I had handy... the caps are held on by magnets.
