Our local morning newspaper has an article stating the facade of the original White Castle restaurant in Whiting, Indiana will be moved to the Illinois Railway Museum as part of their Main Street display. John

My favorite place to go rail-fanning is the CN Yard in Pontiac Michigan and pick up a White Castle slider combo at a nearby White Castle.
Hope to see you out rail-fanning. Gary 🚂

Nice way to continue the celebration of the 100th Anniversary:

That's an even stronger reason to add a White Castle to our layouts.
No White Castles in coastal North Carolina. As an ex-New Yorker, I ate there many times. My cousin (dss51} built this one for me.

I've got a White Castle on my layout. No good photos, yet.
In this video I stop and have lunch at a White Castle. After picking up a K-Line locomotive at Great Lakes Hobbies. Than we will stop at the Amtrak Station to eat lunch. The famous sliders & fries. 👍

Nice work, and creative use of compression to shoehorn the essential features into a small, easy-to-fit-in package! Kudos to you and your cousin!
Here's the White Castle from my layout. It's a low relief model at the end of the streetcar line and across the street from the East Union station. Building is cardstock (matte photo paper) on a balsa frame. There's a Starbucks at the other end of the streetcar line.

The street sign is a nice touch. Milwaukee and ...Lawrence?
Yes - it's a Chicago street sign.

Ah yes a Bag of burgers
Here's a photo of the White Castle in Whiting, IN. that is going to Illinois Railroad Museum. The way I understand it they added on to the original shack type restaurant and its still there under the newer porcelain walls. My guess the IRM wants the smaller shack version.
It was our coffee and danish place to go when I worked at the Amoco refinery back in the 1970's. We would wait for our tank trucks to unload Phillips reference test fuel from railcars to bring back to our lab in Illinois.

My first remembered hamburger, as a kid riding in A '40 Chevy down Taylorsville Road in Louisville, Ky , a rare and luxurious treat, on the way back from toy shopping on dime store row, Fourth Street. Not sure my stomach today likes the onions. One was built recently near me, but soon closed. Show us which one they install at the IRM, whenever...

Lawrence and Milwaukee! My grandparents used to live around Six Corners 50 years ago!
