Walthers 933-3072 Al's Victory Service Gas Station Kit - 4 x 6 x 2-1/16" : HO Scale

Product Information
A Curbside Classic for Post-1930s Layouts

Not too long ago, prototypes for the Walthers Cornerstone HO Scale Al's Victory Service Gas Station could be found at every busy city intersection and along most major highways. Premium was 25 cents a gallon, maps were free and restrooms were clean. There was a mechanic on duty who could fix anything. And Al always wore a spotless uniform when he came out to pump your gas, check the oil and wash the windows. Introduced in the late 1930s, box-style stations like Al's this sprang up from coast to coast and remained a standard well into the 1950s. Combining the office, restrooms and service bays into one structure, they provided a uniform, neat appearance that attracted motorists. Lots of windows made them bright and cheerful, as did the enameled steel walls decorated in company colors. Although newer stations have taken their place, many survive today and many have been repurposed as independent garages, body shops, retail stores and offices. A few have even been converted into private homes! Authentic styling looks great on any vintage or modern street scene. Optional pumps are included to match your era, along with colorful decal signs for the finishing touch. Just add vehicles, figures and interior details, available separately, to create a busy scene anywhere along your layout. Al's Victory Service is an ideal addition to any scene along with other Cornerstone HO Scale businesses.
