Happy Early Valentine's Day!

  In case you missed the announcement, Friday is Valentine's Day. Hopefully, you are well prepared and have left hints & sticky Notes in you DEBenLLC.com website Wish List! Who knows, perhaps if you take a few moments to read through this Newsletter there may be a box of Valentine's Surprise at the end for you! Wink! Wink!
  I'll bet that you are wondering about the image at the right. Last year I found this image on Facebook and I thought to myself; self, would this scene make a great "re-use" of our SMM Small Town Jail kit?  ... We have steel tanks and early gas pumps, what do you think?
  So, all that said, let's move on to the New and Forgotten! Be sure to read all the way to the bottom ... a recent Doctor Ben's Product Review was posted on line!
"What's New & Forgotten?"
 "Write a Review"--What's this all about??? A week or so after you make a purchase on our website, and the website knows that we have shipped your items to you; the website will send you an email asking if your order arrived OK. And then the message will list the purchased items with a Link next to each item asking for you to Review of that product. This is NOT us pestering you to make another purchases. But should you be so inclined to provide Review (feedback) of the items that other customers (and fellow modelers) may find interesting, we would be very thankful for your efforts!
  So let's Start up with a couple of released and possibly missed on their release products ...

Doctor Ben's Baby Building Blocs - Multi-Scale

Shortline Stone Diesel Oil Facility O (& HO?) scale
  Looking to re-purpose the Small Town Jail into a Shortline Diesel Oil Facility? We shared this on our Facebook page and asked for comments. Obviously, the first post was if it would be in HO scale. Tom Yorke didn't do an HO Scale Jail .... But I'm thinking that the #3127/#3128 "1950s Transition Era Enginehouse" concrete block walls might make a neat HO alternative!  What do you think?

 Set consists of  2pcs-1-1/8 inch square x 5/8 inch tall Each High Quality Labstone casting is a stack is constructed of  0.100" x 0.125" x 1.125" long simulated ties. The stacks in this image are simple stained/washed with Doctor Ben's Realistic Oak Weathering Stain (#1081) and then a diluted was of Doctor Ben's Instant Age Weathering Solution (#1152). Yes, it's that simple ... this is weathering & NOT rocket science!

"Short Line Stone Depot" Kit
Thomas A. Yorke Enterprises/Scale Model Masterpieces HO & O Scales
Waitin' on the 5:05 A shrill whistle breaks the stillness of the evening air. Soon the little engine with a single combine in tow will round the curve and pull up to the tiny depot. The 5:05 is right on time. Originally, Thomas A. Yorke called this station the Rocopilla Depot. The original Rocopilla Depot kit had no specific prototype, but the basic construction techniques used for this model were inspired by a little station south of the border... CLICK HERE
Review: Doctor Ben's Corrugated Material!
HO SCALE CORRUGATED ROOFING / SIDING MATERIAL
by Brett Wiley
I LOVE making metal roofs and adding metal siding to my structures. The metal roof, when applied right, painted well and weathered to look like an old rusty metal roof just looks awesome. Now I understand that you don’t have to paint metal roofing/siding to look rusted and worn, but that’s just our style and we like the tired and old feeling for our buildings. CLICK HERE
We're "STILL" L@@KING FOR: The Thomas Yorke Ent "Crossing/ Telegrapher's Shanty Kit" O-152 1980s...

  We have the other six kits in this series but this elusive kit has been a little more difficult to find. Please contact us via email, facebook, telephone if you have this kit available to sell, loan or trade! Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!
