That’s really cool! I remember tossing quarter into the basket on the NJ turnpike (or was it the parkway?). Half the time the quarter didn’t register and you were supposed to honk your horn and go. A thing of the past for sure. They did away with these in Massachusetts a couple of years ago. Now it’s all the digital pass or they take a photo of your plate. That would be no fun to model.

I totally agree and will add that I think that this is a great (a) model and (b) set of photos for those of us who are nostalgic. I have to say that now I am very tempted to try to find one of these and customize the lighting - but sadly I have too many repair jobs (grrrrr) and an unfinished project to complete . . .

Excellent work. I have this Tollbooth and was going to include in my next layout which is this one. But it won't work out. As so many things I wanted to do and bought and saved items. this and many others items I can't use I have my neighbor put it on her E Bay auctions.

That is really nice! Things are better when you light them up.

Old school toll is right! Twenty five cents for cars, that's reminiscent of the Garden State Parkway into Wildwood in the 70's!
Marvelous upgrade.
