Gorgeous diner, Donald, I particularly love those awnings. Arnold

Could not get proper zoning for a diner on my layout .....they looked the other way so we slipped a roach coach in

Very clever, Jackie, I bet they have great apple pie a la mode at Granny's. Arnold

It is from Dept. 56, the name is "Shelly's Diner"

Here is a close up shot of my illuminated Department 56 Shelly's Diner and sign:

I bought it about 20 years ago in a Christmas gift shop in Latham, NY. Arnold

Arnold, that looks like a true NJ Diner if I ever saw one! 

I think I might need to pick one up for the layout.

Mmm    pie

  The Stage Coach Diner, now the Sandy Hook Diner, was my Mothers place in the 60s.

Here's my Starlight diner kit. This was offered by Miller Engineering some years ago. Enjoyed doing the interior. 

Stay safe

@Arnold D. Cribari you are the best "bad" influence! haha!

The new diner is on my layout right across the street from the trolley station. All I need to do is add a parking lot, some 50s-60s era cars, and a push-button sound device to really get things swinging.

For the sound device: Should the diner have rock and roll or jazz playing?

Looking good, Bryce. Why not both, jazz and rock n' roll. Arnold

Food must really be good at Irene’s... Batman, Bullitt and Starsky & Hutch seem to think so
