[quote user="Lone Wolf and Santa Fe"]Please show me another restaurant of any kind or some other place that you can grab a bite or a snack.

While it still needs a few scenic details, this is Rita's Oasis (named for my late Mother)...

...and I did add some details to the kit...

Wayne

How about some more eateries, please.

Not strictly a burger joint, but burgers are a staple of Stan's Drive-In
restaurant.
 
 
Show me any drive-in or fast food restaurant.

This bird's eye view of the town center of Willoughby shows a donut shop in the center right of the photo. The large donut on top is based on a California prototype.

More big structures, please.

The right side of the Boothbay Railway Village layout has a 1-1/2% grade which is hidden by a row of buildings; basically, a tunnel of buildings. The lower end has industrial buildings

The middle has commercial buildings

And the top has residential buildings

Show me a small building
