Will be posting some project pictures here, starting with the vintage gas station.




And here's the original from around 1957.

great for older routes.

Nice!

I worked at a station just like that in 1964. The pumps had been upgraded, same design though.

Great idea! Coming along nicely!

Some more progress on the class gas station.

Not much left to do on the building, other then add the pumps, will do two versions, one with pumps and one without, to similate one years later with the pumps have been removed.

Texico?

Texico is a Texas based oil company that also is a very successful gas station chain.

Try Texaco people.

yeah thats what I meant, this looks like the gas station image is of the Texaco in Texico Texas. I googled it and Texico is in fact a town near the New Mexico border. hope this clears things up for the questioning the name on the building.

After further looking at another picture of the building, I realized it was an A, from this picture though it almost looked like an I.




The building in the sim.




It will look a lot better on a different computer because this old thing won't run RW at any high settings and won't run it with TSX on.

Going to start looking for another retro building to work on for the next in the set. The next building for the set will probably be a classic diner.

Redone the C and O and redid the pumps some.

Also added the spout for the gas truck.
