    A.J. Slick Fuel & Heating Oil just opened on the south side of the tracks:

    A.J. himself makes the large deliveries, but drive-ins are always welcome. You can purchase kerosine, diesel, and heating oils in 35 gallon barrels, and we'll load you up out back:

    Don't be shy, just drive around the back, and our boys will run on out there and get you all set!

    You can drive your car under the awning, and get you small cans filled up, our boys are ready to serve! That's pretty slick... A.J. Slick that is!

    Billy Bad A$$!!!

    Robert,

    You've done it again!!! Outstanding!!!! It kinda reminds me of when I was a little boy riding thru town with my parents. The one set of railroad tracks had an old abandoned building right near the railroad tracks, that was used in its day, as a coal oil/diesel/gas depot!!!

    Way too cool!!!

    Thanks for the kind words. Chris Tatarian outdid himself on the tank castings, I was so pleased with how well they turned out.

    We spent quite a while on this kit, trying to produce something that there is not a lot of available in Z, and Chris even purchased a new Rotary Attachment for his laser in order to produce the master for the large tank. That's a sizable investment for the rotary attachment, but he will be able to offer lots of different prizes for us with it.

    We had the sample above at the trains show today, and people really seem to like it... but now everyone is already asking what's next? ;)

    Just received my kit today. The castings are the best I've seen. Only complaint is that unless I use my 125 power microscope I can't read the name on the truck tires or the size or recommended inflation and all of that stuff. Robert & Chris, you have to work on that.
