Thank you John.
Can we Know the origin of the Dave Newcomb building ? is it a kit ? is it scratchbuilding ? kitbash ?
I like this building. He's so strange and be very «Lovecraftian»
Thank in advance

I talked to George about this structure.  George didn't build it he bought / traded it many years ago from the late Dave Newcomb.  I, with George's concurrence, named it the Dave Newcomb building. If you check out the other "It's about the details" F&SM thread I have more pictures and a few more details about the building.

No hurry!  You get healed up first. I have a bunch more for Dovertown that will keep me busy for awhile.  I will hold off on moving on to the North River area until you can catch up. Do not, I repeat, do not push yourself and end up having more problems. End of lecture.    I hope the fact that your getting back on the forum means your feeling better. Get well soon my friend.

Next to the Dave Newcomb building we have Brasso Brass Cleaning Polish Company.

We also have this box car red structure - I can't make out the name on the side of the building - it's on my list of questions for George.

Moving towards the front of the layout we have Johnny Stechinos Taste of Italy Restaurant.

I've always been a fan of the Dave Newcomb building, It's definitely a unique structure. Looks like one of the old Master Creations designs in style.

It was featured on one of the pages of the original FSM book. If I recall George said it was a contest winner and at the time of the book I think the only structure not built by George. I'm amazed at how George can completely redo a whole area and have it look seamless. When I visited during the last Expo it had been 15 years since my last visit and it was like a whole new layout in places.

This thread is great, thanks for posting all these pictures.
