Hi All:

Here is my next build. Artie sent me this kit to test build on the forum.

Oh, good.  I heard he was closing down for a bit so I bought a gas station.  I'm guessing they would go together about the same.

Karl,


Looking forward to the build.  I believe Bar Mills has a slightly different version of this same kit so a modeler can build a pair of small stations with a "family look".


Bob,


Art had to stop production because Maine has forced closure of all non-essential businesses.  Art is still there, he will ship orders from existing stock, and is offering free shipping to the US.  Details are on the Bar Mills Facebook page.

What gas station did you get?

Karl
Bud Smileys.  I had to get back in and find out.  Didn't realize that there was more than one.  Smileys is a better fit for my area anyway.  I seem to have a thing for Texacos.

Hey Bob:

Here's the one I scratch built and gave to George. It resides on the F&SM RR. I built it from A photo of the real gas station. Artie turned it into Bud Smiley's. He did not include the side Garage.

Hey All:

Got a little work done today. I painted all the parts. I changed my colors to Depot Buff and Depot Olive. Here's A photo.

Hi All:

The Walls and platform are ready for assembly. I added extra bracing to 3 of the walls not included in the kit or the instructions. The 4 braces next to the corner trim were added to add a gluing surface for the side walls. On the freight door wall I added the two outer pieces as this wall is very fragile. Here's A few Photos.

Karl,

Nice start on the station.

Your Richfield Gas Station is my favorite gas station of all time and of any kit now or on the market in the past.
