MTH Car Wash and Mel's Diner

Car wash and diner operating accessories in action.

MTH doesn't list a scale but I'd say the car wash is closer to 1:50 than 1:64 so the 1:43 cars don't look out of place with this accessory. I've found that some structures are a little too small to put a 1:43 vehicle next to them so I usually opt for a 1:50 car in those situations.

I have the exact same 1:43 1960 Cadillac & 1960 Edsel by Brooklin. What's the scale of Mel's Diner & the car wash? I thought they were 1:64 but they don't look out of place next to the Brooklins.

How did you wire the miller engineering sign to the roof of the car wash? did you cut into the roof or rerouted the flat cable to the back of the building?

I fabricated a “box” to hold everything that I placed on the roof top behind the sign. The red/black wires I put in a plastic tube, painted to look like a conduit, and ran that down the side of the building.
