Looking at an O Gauge Pizza Stand kit on the auction site that looks very simple to build and apparently by changing the signage is also sold as a Fish & Chips Stand, Jimmy's Burger Stand, Hot Dog Stand, etc.

The kits come from Turkey and are made from MDF. They just need a dc power supply.

Anyone bought one of these kits? How is the quality? Any problems?

Good choice.  I did not glue to roof on so that I could later access the potentiometer on the voltage control board for the motor.  I applied 12 vdc to the units (actually 8vdc) for the purpose of lighting the LED strip.   The motor than spins the roof signs accesses that same feed and it is set to high.  The sign was noisy and way too fast in its rotation.  I knocked down the voltage to the motor by adjusting the pot and it became virtually silent and the sign turned slower which appears more correct.

That seller has some other interesting stuff, especially a rotating repair stand. I saw the only negative feedback (in the past year) and had to laugh:

Buyer:

"item promoted as built; in fact, it was a kit, requiring construction
O Gauge Hot Dog stand w/Motorized Rotating Banner and Lighting"

Seller's answer:

"Reply by xx. Left within past year.
"Incredibly false claim. It writes "Unassembled kit, needs assembly and painting"

Some people just do not read; or at least, do not comprehend what they have read.



I had seen this seller before and thought that Turkey would not be first place that I would associate with model railroading.

I saw those food stands.  Didn't think of a fair or midway so I thought the burger and hot dog were more apropos than pizza or fish and chips.  But they did interest me just no room for them.

Coach Joe - I am sure with a little creativity, you could probably put together a whole midway from these kits.

They look like they would lend themselves to a bit of kit bashing.
