THIS IS SOMETHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR ME. I'VE BEEN WANTING TO BUILD A MODEL TEXACO STATION TO DISPLAY IN MY BARN BECAUSE OF THE TEXACO DECOR ON THE SIDE OF IT. I SAW A MODEL, JL INNOVATIVE HO SCALE MOBILOIL STATION, LAST PICTURE, ON EBAY THAT I LIKED SO MUCH BUT IT WAS TOO SMALL. SO I DECIDED TO BUILD MY OWN AND MAKE IT A TEXACO. IT'S APPROX. 1/43 SCALE AND SCRATCHBUILT USING SHEET STYRENE AND TUBING. ALL SIGNS EXCEPT THE ONE ON TH ROOF, THIS ONE LIGHTS UP LIKE NEON AND FLASHES (MODEL RAILROAD ITEM), ARE DOWNLOADED FROM THE COMPUTER AND COPIED AND PRINTED. ACCESSORIES WERE OBTAINED FROM A NUMBER OF SOURCES.
