A very big thank you to a good friend, who sold the land title papers to me for this stunning hotel made by Ken. i have immediately re-opened the hotel for business, in an attempt to recoup my outlay. :salute:::salute:::salute::Robin.

ps further photos of this structure will appear in the coming months on my diorama thread 'TIME ON MY HANDS AT LAST'.

A good investment Robin and seems to have charm enough to keep the officers coming back for the duration as long as Madame is there to welcome them !:wink2:

Yep, 'come up and see me sometime', will keep the boys coming back. Looking forward to showing the entire hotel and the rear barn and surrounds. This is right up there with the best pieces in my collection. Consider myself very fortunate to own it. Robin.

Robin, I reckon we'll be seeing plenty of this dio but then why not! It's a cracker and I know you are as proud as punch to own it!

Fantastic Dio.....really detailed and fun to see form all angles....

I would love to get hold on a couple of these Crossleys without a canvas top and an open cargo bay so as to add all kinds of supplies and soldiers....pity JJD did not consider that as an option to us collectors....
