I did not like the way my station was lit I have an early version where they did not light the service bay. I also thought it was odd for a garage to have nothing in it but the car. The overhang over the pumps was dark and so were the front windows. Well it gave me something to do on a rainy afternoon.

Fantastic job Nelson. You should do this more often on rainy days.

The bay lights were from HO scale billboards.
Wow, that really wakes it up. Nice! I like the way your built it into the layout, too - that looks very natural.
Really nice!
Can you "walk us through" the details in the service bay?

Very nicely done. By far the best looking MTH operating service station I have seen. I, too, would love to know more about the interior details.
Happy railroading,

The inside toolboxes and equipment are from two HO scale NASCAR dioramas found at a yard sale for 25 cents each. The back wall is a picture found HERE: on the internet then cut down and re-sized to fit the wall. This was the best image I found with the best detail. Also found the pictures of the air compressor and tire rack doing a search for images using GOOGLE. All were glued to the walls using a glue stick. As I mentioned above I took the back wall lights off of 2 HO scale billboards.
What a great looking improvement. I'm also a person who really likes lighting. Very nice! Terry
