The photo of this old
"Richfield Gas" postcard became the premise of this kit. It can
be built with either the "Texaco" or "Shell" sign packages included
with it...
Sorry Richfield !
Only available in "HO' (at this time) the
kit has the usual Bar Mills touches. From the Insta-Fence, to the
billboard & castings the kit tells its' own story.
In "O" Scale...
Our
"O"
Scale version comes with highly detailed metals & resin
castings supplied to us by Berkshire Valley Models. The photo
above is of our prototype model !
Sometimes we do a
kit just for the “sentimental” value. “Bud” owned this station
back when gas was a quarter and you got a “free” glass with every
8-gallon purchase ! We’ve all seen little private enterprises
like this, this one comes complete with an outside storage tank,
plastic windows, metal details and colorful signs. You can theme
this one as either a “Texaco” or “Shell” station... graphics are
included for both. Call it “Bud’s”, or “Gomer’s”, or “Goober’s”,
you get the idea. This little gem will fit into any era layout
and add some color & interest to it.

"Bud Smiley's HO Footprint
"O"-Scaler Clyde Queen of Nampa, Idaho did an unbelieveable job on "Bud
Smiley's" for his On30 layout. More work from Clyde can be seen
throughout our website.
