HO Monroe J. Burke Filling Station #2218 – Monroe Models

The Model:

This gas stations was a standard design developed in the 1920’s. They were built in various parts of the country. The model kit was painstakingly researched to represent the original gas station building, gravity pumps, oil high boys, air compressor and other vintage accessories. These early stations did little except sell oil and gas and maybe fix a flat tire. The full-service garage was a future invention at this stage of the automobile.  We think you’ll love this kit!
