Yep that's what I was going for. Heres a pic of the one in San Louis Obispo Ca. that I modeled mine after. Back when full service was still alive. Love these old SoCal stations. The car lot is modeled after a lot in La Habra Ca. In the 80's they sold alot of muscle and exotics. The lot is gone now.

Nice work; just need the American Flyer up to use those on.

That gas station is especially intriguing. Are there any examples of those still up?
