Betty's Diner is a smart quick kit that adds an solid amount of detail to a part of the layout. All the kit parts mesh together nicely and the metal castings are quite detailed, especially the mid century Coke machine...it looks like you can pop a H.O. Sized quarter in and get a little drink! The interior is nice with a checkered floor that looks great when some scratch built tables, chairs and a counter are installed. If you want a craftsman kit that you can cut your teeth on and NOT get frustrated try this one....you WILL catch the basswood bug!
