The photo of this
old "Richfield Gas" postcard became the
premise of this kit. It can be built with
either the "Texaco" or "Shell" sign packages
included with it...
Sorry
Richfield !
Only available in
"HO' (at this time) the kit has the usual Bar Mills
touches. From the Insta-Fence, to the billboard &
castings the kit tells its' own story.
In "O" Scale...
Our "O" Scale version comes with
highly detailed metals & resin castings
supplied to us by Berkshire Valley Models.
The photo above is of our prototype model !
Sometimes we do a kit just for the
“sentimental” value. “Bud” owned this station
back when gas was a quarter and you got a “free”
glass with every 8-gallon purchase ! We’ve all
seen little private enterprises like this, this
one comes complete with an outside storage tank,
plastic windows, metal details and colorful
signs. You can theme this one as either a
“Texaco” or “Shell” station... graphics are
included for both. Call it “Bud’s”, or “Gomer’s”,
or “Goober’s”, you get the idea. This little gem
will fit into any era layout and add some color
& interest to it.
Vehicle not included (as usual)
"O"-Scaler Clyde Queen of Nampa,
Idaho did an unbelievable job on
"Bud Smiley's" for his On30 layout.
More work from Clyde can be seen
throughout our website.
