A question on the base. What was used? How big a platform? I'm looking at doing an early 50's Sinclair station, and doing it as decribed in a book (The Last Open Road). I just want an idea of space requirements.

The base is "mdf". Approx. 29" x 47"

I started with the MRC 1968 Texaco Station, using most of the parts.

I scratch build the walls, used Scale Models by Chris for the accessories.

Things I learned along the way.

Think of the end result. That is where is it going to be located - big area 29x47

(My wife does not want it in the living or family rooms.)

29 inches wide - doorways are 30 inches sometmes difficult to manage.

I would make components then pin to base. Tranaporting is alot easier. Along with storage if not on display

(I glued everything to the base)

Please send me a pm if you have any questions
