I purchased one as soon as he posted this. It's a wonderful model of a real diner from Taunton Massachusetts. I've had breakfast in there a few times. Sadly it's gone. Here''s a link to the a local newspaper -- the Taunton Gazette (https://www.tauntongazette.com/story/news/history/2022/01/10/restaurants-we-miss-hickeys-diner-taunton-massachusetts-diners/8987972002/).

Thanks for the kudo's folks.  It was a great little model to design and build. I should have mentioned as Rich did that it is based on the prototype in Taunton. I got the idea from Dan Raymond a while back and it only took me a year and a half to git 'er dun!

Nice tiny diner.  I've always lived within a few miles of US Rt. 1, which had many more in the era I'm modeling than it does now. But some remain.
