I only learned of the BMW Isetta recently. They are cool little cars. I wished they would have been popular. I was always tempted to get a teardrop trailer but without AC I wouldn't survive  |

Josef, Great story about the Davy Crocket bowl and cup!!! Your gas station reminds me of my Uncles Sinclair Station. That's what I enjoy about my layout and sitting back and watching the trains run through, and as they pass, the memories I have built into the layout is what its all about and the enjoyment of remembering. Thanks for sharing the pic. Always enjoy pictures of the past also.

Great memory! Your post triggered my own memory. Our local gas station gave out Baltimore Colts glassware. I still have one! Emile |

A day at the races! There is actually only 1 Grandstand. A mirror inserted under the Dunlop crosswalk makes it appear that there are 2 and that the road continues out of sight.  |

Boy, how much I like the car theme for the OGF. To me, autos make a layout so muvh more realistic.
How about a lighted bus headed to NYC.
