    Gus's Last Chance Texaco is and industrial fuel supply dealer in Timesaver, and carries everything from Diesel, Heating Oils, to Gasoline. Ol' Gus has been running the operation in these parts since the railroad first came through town in the '90's.

    Ol' Gus has two boys working for him, Skip and Tommy. Skip is going places, but Tommy is more laid back, and would rather be fishing, or napping under a tree somewhere.

    As well as fuels and oils, you can also count on Gus to have any filters, belts, or gaskets you might need, but the pop machine has been broken for years, and only has warm soda, and that's just fine with ol' Gus.

    Need tractor parts? New tires, or just about anything else? Gus's brother Luther is the Telegraph Operator at the depot across the street, and can gets your parts ordered and put on an express in a day or less. Just a quick walk across the tracks, and your order's in. When Andy down the road needed a new barn for his Tivio, Gus ordered one through the Sears Catalog for him, and 2 weeks later, all the lumber and hardware was on a flat car set out right at the site for Andy. Everyone in town can count on ol' Gus to get er done.

    Some say he's the busiest man in the county, others say he would make a great mayor, but ol' Gus don't want to raise a fuss, he just plain Gus!

    Wonderful scene. I like that little truck beside the large tanks, very nice one.
    In case of gas shortage we can provide the supply transport. ;)

    Got to love the backstory! Was that your motivation for the AJ slick kit? That was a fun one.

    And those are some nice tanker trucks!
