O Scale Texaco Gas Station Building Prelit with Two Die-Cast Vehicles NEW
Features
It was a different era: uniformed attendants who pumped your gas, checked your fluid levels, and even wiped your windshield! Of course, if you walked in the office you couldn’t buy a pizza, a beach umbrella, or beef jerky. If you were lucky, you’d find an ice-filled cooler keeping Pepsi® or Coke® cool, and you could get a road map! Oh, and spotless restrooms for the anxious traveler? They were station staff’s top priority.
On the other hand, you could get an oil change, a tire rotation, and maybe new brakes. This was the actual "service" that service stations offered, and why they were a valuable member of the local community. This model captures the feel of this bygone era.
The basics: Johnson’s Texaco® station is a fully assembled and decorated filling station with exterior illumination, gas pumps, service bays, and two licensed die-cast metal vehicles a 1957 Dodge® Sweptside pickup truck and a flamboyant 1958 Plymouth® Fury coupe.
Johnson's Texaco® lighting requires power through a 4.5-volt power supply from Menards®. You can use the 279-4061/4361, 4060/4362, or 4050. You can connect them through a single plug over the tabletop or from beneath the station.
Why you need this: Johnson's Texaco® is a terrific rendering of a classic mid-Century service station. You’ll find brilliant Texaco® graphics, including the traditional Texaco® Fire Chief helmet and the red Texaco® emblem.
The building is faithful to the era with vibrant white tiles projecting an aura of cleanliness. Texaco® green can be found running along the station’s foundation and three green stripes running around the sides and front of the building. Near the roof are red Texaco® stars on the front and two sides.
Beneath the station’s overhang are three old-school gas pumps with globes decorated with Texaco® graphics. These are made the focus of attention from LEDs carefully positioned above.
There are two service bays - one for oil and lubrication and the other for engine and transmission service.
The office and service bays have frosted glass windows, and "Johnson’s Texaco®" is emblazoned on the front. The left side of the office has a second entrance, a doorway to the traveler’s best friend: the restroom.
The two die-cast vehicles are the perfect addition to the station, saluting an era of V8 engines and cars that could easily seat eight!
Johnson's Texaco® will complement the scene of any O gauge railroad set from the late 1950s through today!
