Yup!

Another great addition to your series of photos Bob! I've always loved that Texaco station, it brings back memories of the by-gone days.

Bob, how is your new layout project coming along?

Verry nice! What scale and what did you use to iluminate the headlights on the green auto at the pumps?

With today's gas prices hitting the 4.00 dollar mark, it's nice to see that my "little folks" still enjoy those "good-ole days" 13 cents a gallon. BTW, they get full service and a check under the hood!

Have Fun.... Bob.
