• Any of you guys ever have one of these? *NM* *PIC*
  • I've got one...
    • Great story Mark... I never got one, never even saw one but I've since bought the book "Gas Station - How to make an old gas station diorama"... from modeljunkyard.com *PIC*
  • I had one when I was a kid, a long, long time ago. My dad worked at a Texaco truck stop, so naturally, his son had to have a Texaco station *NM*
  • Don't recall if I had that station but had other Texaco toys because my Dad had stock in Texaco so..... *NM*
  • I had a generic station, by Marx, that was similar to that. Played with it 'til it was practically nothing but dust! *NM*
  • My last grail... but doubt that one is going to surface any time soon *NM*
  • I had two of them one just like the one pictured and the other one I remember it had a curl ramp to get to the parking ramp on the second floor... HMMM maybe it was a city parking ramp, boy that one having hard time with that memory I just remember the curl. *NM*
    • The one that I had, had an elevator to bring the cars up to the parking level. It also had a ramp to roll them back down to the ground level *NM*
      • I had one of the Marx ones when I was a kid. Those are closer to Matchbox/Hot Wheels scale, this one is 1/25 which makes it a sought-after item *NM*
        • The one that I had came with several cars that were roughly 1/32 scale, though the accessories were closed to 1/25 and seemed huge compared to the vehicles. *NM*
  • Got one! Off ebay many moons ago- Shawn Carpenter did cast replacement parts for it, and I have some of those. *NM*
  • If Boomer was around, he would jump on this post and tell you all about when he was a "Texaco Man" . Always had something to add when the station or Buddy L Texaco fuel truck would show up in my Memories from the past photo's. RIP buddy. *NM*
  • Not Texaco, but one from Sears, I think it was "Allstate" brand. *NM*
