Hey Dave.... I'm surprised you didn't think of them..... Esso, Shell, Exxon, VW
(named beams), and then there are all the 1:87 cars/trucks.
Is Octan a real service station? I have never seen one here or in Europe
(Germany, Austria, Britain, France).
And don't forget the #390-#395 Hobby Sets with names such as Rolls-Royce,
Cadillac, Harley-Davidson, Renault, Norton, and Formula 1.
And in trains there is the "DB" logo (Deutsche Bahn = German National Railways).
Then there's the Wells Fargo (is that bank name still used in California?) in
the #365 Wild West Set, and Learjet (#455).
There's a lot more I'm sure...
