The OGF members that formed our forum are some of the most creative guys in our hobby. I refer to them as the movers and shakers. All of us moved to the OGF from another train forum, a place that we greatly improved during the time we were active. We came up with many new ideas that really skyrocketed their volume over a four year period. One of those ideas was an Ice Cream Shop that Harry Hieke crafted for us. It is an impressive building with a completed interior. Now for the part that bugged me. In my design for this building, Elizabeth crafted the artwork for the sign that had the three letter abbreviation for the other forum. I wish I could say that I have fond memories of my time there, but the way we were treated when we all left would leave a bad taste in the mouth for just about anyone, even those with a strong stomach. So, every time I would look at this Ice Cream Shop, not good. Elizabeth came to rescue and repainted this sign. No longer an issue.
If any of our members have one of these Ice Cream Shops and want Elizabeth to use her special touch as she did for our sign, just send the sign off to me and she will be happy to modify it for you. Or, if this building interests you, I am sure Harry can make one for you to add to your layout. It is really neat.

Good job Elizabeth!
Every time I see photos from parts of your layouts Brian, I get giddy. The detail, colors, and amount of fun going on always makes me smile. This little scene is no exception.

Capitol idea PTC and thanks. The Ice Cream Shop was perfect for us. Our first grandson is Logan. Each year we would take him, his brother, and sometimes his cousins to Southern Shores (OBX) and one night we would go play miniature golf and elsewhere. When you came up with the idea for the ice cream shop, it was perfect. Thank you. Check it out. 2013  2015  Today   We just need to get the layout to the place that this will have a permanent home. I bet that if someone wants to get an OGF Ice Cream Shop it might be possible to get one or more in time for October York. They are very nice buildings. |

Very nice fix, Bill. Logan is a super kid and we enjoyed our time with him.
The Ice Cream Shop will look terrific on your layout once you find a place for it.

Great artwork there!
Funny! My wife owns an ice cream shop with her two brothers. It was originally a walk up Dairy Queen from the 60’s then they moved to a walk-in store front store on the main drag!
I have an HO model of a Dairy Queen, but I imagine there aren’t any mass produced O scale versions...

Tom, it sure is a nice building.
Until the covid-19 problems are behind us, no ice cream sales for your wife?
