Petrarca’s Sausage Emporium with Gert Muller’s Ace in the Hole Saloon and Gambling Room

The Petrarca Sausage Emporium started out as a Monster Model Works kit which I heavily modified and added a full interior. It’s named for a good friend, Bruce Petrarca MMR (aka Mr.DCC). The Ace in the Hole Saloon and Gambling room is a scratch built addition to the butcher shop, and also has a full interior. This is named for good friend, Gert Muller (aka Speed) who is one of the driving forces behind NMRA-X.

The covered stairwell is a scratch built addition and leads to the upstairs establishment of a questionable moral proclivity. The upstairs has also been fully detailed with several rooms illustrating the point. Exercising a modicum of decency, I have chosen not to post photos of this. The only way to see the goings on inside the second floor is to view through the windows while the second floor is illuminated. The lighting on the second floor is activated with a hidden, momentary-push-button switch on the layout.

This shows the back side of the buildings with some scratch built details. I will be adding more detail to this side when I place it on the layout.
