Reply to "Plasticville & Nostalgia"

Plasticville is the best.  Thanks for starting this great thread, Arnold.  My Plasticville became special to me because it was given to me by a friend, who at the age of 15 or so, decided he was too old for trains.  What a treasure trove for a boy like me with his 50-cent a week allowance!

The larger gas station is a little special because it looks so much like the Texaco station where we used to gas up our '46 Plymouth.  On my layout it had to be squeezed onto cheap real estate between RR tracks and a trolley track, necessitating the pumps to be at the right end of the building.

The 5 & 10 was special also, because of the times spent in Woolworth's with their variety of reasonable goods.  Notice the red Plasticville sedan in front, too.

I like details, and the fire station has several added to it - a lot of red cars, including one wreck that the trainees are practicing on.  The Chief's car parked at the side is a Grossman repro of a Marx auto.  That black grillwork seen inside the station is a speaker for a sound module.

Then there is the Colonial House, I think it was called.  Two shots of it- a yard sale out front and gardening in the back.

Keep those shots coming, folks.  This is fun.
