Back in the late 1970s, Tom Yorke produced a classic model, his Pool Hall and Bordello.
After stalling for 40 years, I finally built his kit and found it to be a great pleasure to build.
The back side shows the excellent stone carving done by Tom.
For the corrugated siding I used Paper Creek Models paper. When Paper Creek closed down I scanned their sheets into my computer. One nice thing about doing it this way is that I can control the color of the rusted metal and I can also use my photo editing program to add signs directly to the printed material.
I thought about making the larger building a hotel but ending up calling it Goldy's Place.
Very nice looking build.
Thanks, Curt. This was one of my most enjoyable kit builds.
This is the front view. The sign on the pool hall was found on the internet, downloaded and resized to fit my space.
A close up of the trim on top.
The bird's next is OK but my O scale bird's nests look better.
The fancy trim is falling apart in this photo.
Beautiful!!

Very nice!
Terrific job! :D :D :D
Very nice and well done.
Tom ;D
Great job
Great looking structure Darryl.
This kit is one of the classics of "Craftsman Kits".
What kits from Campbell, FSM and SRMW would you put into the "Classics" category? I think the SS Ltd "Drug Store" kit deserves to be labeled a classic.

WOW! That is fantastic work!

Great work my friend! Just beautiful.
Slightly off subject (as usual), I looked at Darryll's YouTube feed tonight and was amazed by his postings.
Just what I needed: one more 'Subscribe To" that will delay my actual efforts, but at least they will be breathtaking when I get my "stuff" together.
Thanks in advance, Daryll!!

Jason has some great videos and is making new ones all the time.
I stopped making mine about 10 years ago so I could build more models.
Great modeling from a good guy. Thank you for your for sharing and your tremendous contributions. We all benefit greatly.

Karl,
I try to cover my mistakes with signs.
Great build on a really nice kit!
Darryl,
Thanks for sharing this great build. Your attention to detail -- and intricate detail at that -- is evident. Excellent job and top-shelf work.

Thank you for all your compliments. I do appreciate your kind words.
If anyone is interested, I posted a step by step build on the railroad line forum:

You can find it on the Mike Chamber's Craftsman's Corner section.
Right now it is on the second page and is titled:
