shortliner Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Found on the RRL forum Where are your model people buying the gas for all the cars on your layout? Do you like to get a really fine model of an authentic US-prototype gasstation? The german cardmodel-designer Godwin T. Petermann makes his design available to everybody - for free! Thanks to Godwin. It is easy to build. If you have no experience with cardmodeling, have a look at the CLEVER-Models site. The are many hints for the beginner. Here is the download site (be aware of the other fine models there - mainly german prototype, but possibly adaptable to your US-Pike: http://www.gtp.de/kartonmodellbau/horace-allen-usa.htm http://www.gtp.de/kartonmodellbau/violet-ray-gasoline-station-usa.htm Have fun with this nice model Peter My BLOG (US-Railroads and Cardmodeling) http://modellcom.blogspot.com/ The german cardmodel-designer Godwin T.

Chubber Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 That top one would also make a nice free-lance station building for, say, a narrow-guage layout..... Thanks for posting, Doug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I was going to say the same, Doug. I must say I have never seen a Gas Station like that in the North East - Brick is very unusual too. Cheers, Jack. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. John Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 These small brick stations were common in the southern US until the 1960's. Most are gone but a few have been repurposed. There's an old former gas station like this in my town (Prattville, Alabama) that is used by a bail bondsman. Unfortunately, the brick was painted a hideous yellow-brown.

CourthsVeil Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hi all, mind you, it's all H0=1:87 (bit smaller than 00 - perhaps good for your backgrounds). And all text is German, but the pictures speak for themselves. An overview of all of Petermann's buildings is here; the relevant download site, however, is this one. Hope this helps Armin Edit: And THANKS to Shortliner for posting ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Holmes Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I've seen a few small brick built gas stations in Minnesota and Wisconsin hereabouts. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
