Here's what I know about Brooklin...

@chris 

They do look good. Thanks for pictures.

@ed-davis Those are cool Ed. Did a certain Sinclair station show up at the show?

@mg-harv 

I assume you are thinking about the Sinclair gas station I built. It was built after the show. One of the reasons I went to the show was to see what the experts do and learn how they build things. The knowledge I gained helped with designing my gas station and planning my next project.

Menards, a midwest home improvement store, has a number of O gauge (1:50th) scale items available including this Sinclair gas station.

@john-quilter I've seen this one but it struck me as a little toy-like. I would go for the 1950s-1960s look.

@chris They were more caricature models and toys but they were fun to play with. I bought about 300 of them.

There is a term for people like us. It is AFOL, which means Adult Friends Of LEGOs.
