Anyone here model a smalltown commercial fuel dealer (coal and oil) set within the time period of the mid 1930's to the mid1950's who would be willing to post some close-up photos of their efforts? I'm currently working on such an establishment in a limited area of my layout's new extension.The facility will include just a couple of small vertical, or horizonal, tanks and perhaps a pair of modest-sized coal silos, pumphouse, plus a small office with scales outside...pretty much along the idea of the fuel dealer kit offered by Bar Mills, or that done by Earl Smallshaw, but with a coal silo added. I'd be intertested in seeing what others have managed to do in a limited space.

This is a combination of two Walther's kits.

Hello CNJ831....

Here is my 1950's era oil dealer with no coal. It is crammed into a small background location. I had just posted another pix of it in WPF by coincidence.
