Blair Line N 081 Ernie's Gas Station Kit

Ernie's Gas Station kit design is based on a real gas station that stood along old US Route 66 in Carthage, Missouri. This station was erected in the 1920s or 1930s. Built as a small cottage design station, it was soon decided that an addition had to be built to protect the service area from the extremes of Midwestern weather. This station was managed in the early 1960s by Ernie Armstrong, who passed away on July 23, 2002. This station was closed in the 1980s. Heavily modified, the structure still stands today along historic US66 and is now used as a pet grooming business.

Kit features laser-cut exterior and interior walls, doors, window frames, trim, floor, pre-printed shingles and sign frames. Included are gas pumps and island, chimney, tire display, soda machine, a great selection of authentic Conoco and Ernie's full color decals and signs acquired from prototype gas stations, and a laser-cut sign for roadside.

All the appropriate signs are included to build this station as a Conoco station. Also included are signs to build the station as a small independent station called Ernie's. Gas price signs include pricing appropriate for most eras modeled, including today.

Laser-cut wood billboard frame with authentic signs.
