Hi I am new to this post, I do model building and sceneries I have a mercedes gullwing made in the mid 50's I would like to build a gas station scene around it.. preferably german or italian.. from that period. Any one can help with pictures or good links...
THANKYOU

When I was in the Netherlands I visited a train model shop in Acchen, Germany many times. They had many gas station models ready to assemble. These always looked more european than american stations. I would suggest you get catalogs from the following companies: Lehmann (LGB, Patentwerk, Postfach 3048, D-8500, Nurberg 1, Germany; POLA-Vertrieb Gebr. FALLER Gmbh, Fabrik fur Qualitatsspielwaren, 78148 Gutenbach/Schwarzwald, Germany; Kleinkunst-Werkstatten, Paul M. Preiser GmbH, D-91628, Steinsfeld, Haus Nr. 60, Postanschrift: Oostfach 12 33, Germany. Or you can contact the model shop I went to in Aachen: website: www.modellbahn-center.de email: mc-huenerbein@t-online.de
They are pretty good with English and should be able to help you.
