Finially someone has at least captured the "Feel " of a West Coast Union station , bravo!I need to send an invite to You to join us at Old gas . Ed Shaver

Yep that's what I was going for. Heres a pic of the one in San Louis Obispo Ca. that I modeled mine after. Back when full service was still alive. Love these old SoCal stations. The car lot is modeled after a lot in La Habra Ca. In the 80's they sold alot of muscle and exotics. The lot is gone now.

Nice work; just need the American Flyer up to use those on.

That gas station is especially intriguing. Are there any examples of those still up?

Hey Charlie. There is still some stations like this in Cali. but alot have been sold and converted to a am/pm or something else w/o full serve.
