  Update on my Shell Station - etc. from Scott
 
To All, Well, I am working on getting the Shell Station done. I have most of the tiles laid out (I need more!), I have the parking spots, and some islands put down now. I have a sidewalk next to the car wash, put a siewalk down, and have a phone for (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)

Larry & All, (...) It might be, it stands at 6 large gray baseplates! It is one of my most ambitious LEGO projects I have ever attempted, and it eats money like a black hole!
