RMweb Gold mabel Posted June 1, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2014 Can anyone point me in the direction of either; any articles covering the kit bash and / or modernisation of the DPM hotel kit, or, any links to pictures of similar buildings in the US where I would get some ideas on modern facades, signeage etc. Thanks chaps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Wintle Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 One I know of, although not quite as ornate: https://www.google.ca/maps/@41.748247,-77.301285,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m5!1e2!3m3!1s17379355!2e1!3e10 Â Penn Wells Hotel in Wellsboro, PA. Â In smaller towns that style of hotel really hasn't changed much. Probably the biggest visible change would window airconditioners. Â Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mabel Posted June 3, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2014 Thanks Adrian, just what I was looking for. I had a look on google images at the Penn Wells hotel. I presume the air con eqpt would be on the roof or on a back wall out of sight? Thanks Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no central air conditioning in that hotel, as I know from experience.  Something like these: http://www.blmamodels.com/cgi-bin/webstore/shop.cgi?ud=CQgCAAgBBwQFBxQUEBEcHAINBQIGAgUFCQkTEQAA&t=main.blue.htm&storeid=1&cols=1&categories=01001-00011&&c=detail.blue.htm&t=main.blue.htm&itemid=4109  Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mabel Posted June 3, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2014 Adrian, I have seen the BLMA a/c units before. Just what I need it seems! The pictures I found on google must be before the window a/c units were fitted. I have now found up to date pics that clearly show them.

Adrian Wintle Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Have a look at the Lincoln Building in downtown Watertown, NY https://maps.google.ca/maps?ll=43.974658,-75.909039&spn=0.000004,0.002401&cbll=43.97463,-75.908855&layer=c&cbp=12,5.77,,0,-3.79&t=m&z=19&panoid=Nat_iomUpwnms1eZ2sil5A  It wasn't a hotel, but has a similar style.  Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mabel Posted June 3, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 3, 2014 Thanks again Adrian. A quick google came up the Watertown Daily Times. Plenty of pics of it, plus surrounding buildings. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
