[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by davekelly Biggie, Looks great! I did notice that you've "modernized" yours. Also like the location you picked for it . . . . perhaps you should add some guys trainwatcing while they down their woppers :) Wouldn't it be great if someone came out with a 60-70's era McDonalds? You know the small stores with the arches across the sides? That would be way cool and I bet a hot seller. [/quote] In the late 70's or Early 80's Life-Like (When ever they were selling their "Buildems" Line of structures sported an early style Mc Donalds. However Life-Like did not procure licencing for such a model and thus Mc. Ds sued. From what I know of the case Mc D. issiued all kits recalled and the tooling destroyed. Every once in a while one of these kits surfaces on Ebay and the lowest I have seen it sell for is $150.00. Back in 1998, there was a company that made Ceramic buildings (Along the lines of Dept. 56 and Dickens buildings) Came out with a series of ceramic buildings in their "Route 66" Series. I know an early Mc.Donald's was offered. These buildings were scaled to 1/8" = 1' so are a little small for HO scale. But could work along the back of an HO scale seen in a Forced Perspective fashion. My imperfect memory tells me (I saw this one afternoon watching QVC when I was down with the flue) that the line also included a Santa Fe Mission Style train station. (Included a length of HO EZ track) a Gas Station, and a Motel. If anyone can fill me in on who this company is, it would be greatly appreciated.
