Check out the HO Scale Sinclair Station with Two Vehicles from Menards!
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
