A farm supply fuel and oil station, Lester's Last Chance Texaco Supplying Texaco brand heating oil, gasoline, diesel, and supplies to the farming community of Timesaver Fill your trucks, tracktors, and tanks here, or we deliever Don't forget to stop at Lester's! The Quonset and pickup is by Dan Stirpe, the upright tank is an N Scale Model Railstuff product, and the 3 horizontal tanks are also N from Bar Mills Earl's Oil Co kit. The Fuel Delievery island is from a Kibri fuel tank kit. Signs are just printouts of jpg's found on the web.
Robert, I want to move in to the Timesaver Community. With cheap fuel, and all the train movement, what else does a railfan need.
Fill er' up! Nicely done! A perfect spot for those tankcars. Good to see you spending time on your time saver. And that red pick-up is getting around, really racking up the miles. Dan, can you tell were excited about these yet?
Great work Robert! I'm really envious! Those Cars from Dean are also very needed on the market so if he brings out some of those he will sell a zillion!
Very Nice Robert! And very different from the earlier temporary concept you had shown. I think this worked out well. Randy
Originally I had the big old Kibri tanks slatted for that spot, but after looking at it for a while, it was just too busy, and the town did not follow the theme. I wanted to have a reason for tank cars on my Timesaver, but I don't need a lot of them, just a few at a time, and Lester's better fits the scene. Sometimes you just have to re-work a scene again and again to get the look you are after. It all started witht the trade for the GC Laser Co-op, which fit behind all the tracks well. I had to cut a bit of the mountain away to fit it in, but that was not hard, as it's just plaster shell over foam. Once I got the Co-op in place, I could not like the Kibri Tank Farm anymore, so out it went. The scene looks different than what I posted above, as I have embarked on another round of tree plantings, and praire tuft plantings, as well as parked a diesel delievery truck next to Lester's. It's a Limizied fire pumper, but it is can also represent a diesel pumper too. I'll post photo's tonight.
Now this side of the module is starting to look busy, but not too hurried! Added some details, planted some prairie tufts and trees around, and added a Limized Fire Pumper to represent the delievery truck.
A fuel depot across the tracks from a grain elevator. I hope you have a large, well equipped fire department nearby. Then again, not much that they would be able to do, anyway. Looks great. Dan S.
