Free download US Gas-station

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:

That top one would also make a nice free-lance station building for, say, a narrow-guage layout.....

 

 

Thanks for posting,

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.

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.

Thanks for posting. Nice model.

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 !

I've seen a few small brick built gas stations in Minnesota and Wisconsin hereabouts.
