Starting on another Rehabilitation/Bash of a Piko Dr. Goldstein Pharmacy. What I got didn’t even resemble it! Whoever had it didn’t even assemble the wall right. SO out of square, had to completely take it apart and have started to reassemble. And of course putting windows where doors were and vice versa. Plans are for it to sit on a 18"X24" Acrylic Base with repair bays etc attached. Going to have a “spare” parts yard in back. Now I have to start looking for 1/24 plastic car model parts…bodies, tires, engines, etc. Don’t need whole kits just left over junk or broken stuff. Anybody out there got any stuff they want to part with? Let me know and how much you want. Will pay within reason. Thanks in advance. Pictures will follow shortly. I did remember to take a picture of the “basket” case I started with this time.
Sounds like another good plan Mike. I’ve only got full kits here and nothing to part with at this point, but I’m sure you’ll find a few to help.
Okay the Auto Parts & Repair can go next to Zeke’s Plumbing on the east end of town.

Bought three 1/24 car kits and some junk stuff today on eBay for $20. Now I have the junk for the parts yard.
Is it done yet?
Ha! HA! Ha! Gotta slow down Dave. John can’t keep up! I made up some “footprints” for all the buildings with their pictures on them and now he is throwing them out on the ground, shuffling, and maybe by the spring will have his mind made up where they all go. I have 9 more projects in the hopper. Should keep me busy this winter. Pomona Train Show this saturday. I should leave my wallet at home or take an empty one!
Ya right Mike. Since I won’t be there until Sunday don’t buy it all!
Not until Sunday? bummer, we will be there at 0900 sharp on Saturday.
But there won’t be anything left!
I don’t know Doug. I’m gettin’ there at 9am sharp Saturday morning. There might NOT be anything left! He. he. he. I have put my list into Jonathan for some “stuff” today. My wallet is already feelin’ the squeeze!
But Jonathan is happy!
I was kinda hoping that all you early birds would be distracted by the fairgrounds GR long enough for my brother and I to make at least one quick pass through the show.
I’m running at 11:30am on Saturday, so I have at least a couple of hours head start!
That will be enough time to spend all your money…
That’s the truth. Gotta help this sorry economy!

Mike Rizzo would be very proud.
Much much neater than I keep my shop or studio. Need someone to mess it up?
That looks great!
Needs grease and oil all over the floor…
