Showcase Miniatures - 128 - Commercial Structure - Route 66 - Two Guns Gas N Go

Specific Item Information: Gas stations were a necessity for travel along the Route - but - just selling gas wouldn't keep Mom and Pop in business. Up sprang the novelty gas stations to get a traveler's attention for both a thirsty car and curious passengers.

Model Information: Precision laser cut parts including peel-and-stick backed windows for easy assembly. Pewter metal casting details.

Brand/Importer Information: Founded by Joe Warren, in Cherry Valley, California, in 1995, Showcase Miniatures manufactures high quality cast pewter metal, etched brass, and/or laser cut wood model railroad structures, vehicles, and accessories in HO, N, and Z Scale. Moved to Tuskegee, Alabama in 2012, Walter Vail is Showcase Miniatures current owner and product designer. In developing new products, Walter employs different methods such as hand sculpting and the use of 3D computer software. Crafted by a master modeler, who has had his scratch-built science fiction models featured in Kalmbach Publishing's FineScale Modeler magazine, and previously designed products for businesses such as C-in-C Soft Metal Castings, FASA, GHQ, and Ral-Partha Enterprises, the high quality detail exhibited in every Showcase Miniatures product is certainly not a coincidence.
