He well I have a Burger King in Operation on East St. Did a little bit of painting to it to update it to a modern BK which in my city looks just like this one. How does it look?
It makes me hungry
You need a big sign to attract motorists!

Nice work. Do you want fries with that?
Hopefully they can make a mustard whopper with cheese!!!

Biggie,
Looks great! I did notice that you’ve “modernized” yours. Also like the location you picked for it . . . . perhaps you should add some guys trainwatcing while they down their woppers 
Wouldn’t it be great if someone came out with a 60-70’s era McDonalds? You know the small stores with the arches across the sides? That would be way cool and I bet a hot seller.
Good job Biggie Smalls, I can smell the onion rings. Just for oldtimes sake, I’ll take a double whopper with cheese, rings, and a chocolate shake.
I like FundyNorthern idea of a big sign, but you probably have to scratch build if it didn’t come with the model.
Take care
Tim
That’s a good job of scratchbuilding! It seems that the style of building built for Burger King varies according to what part of the country you’re in. There seems to be even different designs according to the locale within a state, because out here in Arizona all BKs are not the same design.

about the 60s-70s, era Mc Donalds, i saw on in a hobby shop near me! it was way cool, but it would go well with my layout
Great job on the Burger King! The top photo looks so real I thought that was the prototype at first!
Super size me! Oh, do they do that anymore?[:D]

Location reminds me of the McDonalds next to the BNSF in Bay City, Texas.
pickwick,
Don’t tease. Tell me more info about the McD’s you saw at the hobby shop.
Awesome work!!
You should be proud!
mmmm Burger king. Do they serve breakfast?. I like the Idea about the guys watching trains and the big sign. it screams I NEED A SIGN ASAP!!! lol
It would look good on my layout but not in the 50’s Igess…I’m converting a passenger car into a diner.
cool, i do not have enough room for one on my layout
Or better than guys train watching, a switch crew of the local on break![;)]

If you look at the bottom picture in my first post in this topic you can see that there is a sign for the Burger King. Not the bottom picture in this post. LOOK UP. LOL It is just the way the picture is that you cannot see it. I may make another one that is lite too. Here is a before picture of the area.
In the late 70’s or Early 80’s Life-Like (When ever they were selling their “Buildems” Line of structures sported an early style Mc Donalds. However Life-Like did not procure licencing for such a model and thus Mc. Ds sued. From what I know of the case Mc D. issiued all kits recalled and the tooling destroyed. Every once in a while one of these kits surfaces on Ebay and the lowest I have seen it sell for is $150.00.
Back in 1998, there was a company that made Ceramic buildings (Along the lines of Dept. 56 and Dickens buildings) Came out with a series of ceramic buildings in their “Route 66” Series. I know an early Mc.Donald’s was offered. These buildings were scaled to 1/8" = 1’ so are a little small for HO scale. But could work along the back of an HO scale seen in a Forced Perspective fashion. My imperfect memory tells me (I saw this one afternoon watching QVC when I was down with the flue) that the line also included a Santa Fe Mission Style train station. (Included a length of HO EZ track) a Gas Station, and a Motel. If anyone can fill me in on who this company is, it would be greatly appreciated.
