It is a really great model. I received one at the NB Center when I purchased the set of models.

I would buy one if a different gas company was featured.  I have never seen a Sinclair gas station.

@mg-harv, I think we had all of them there in Allentown. I never counted them but, if I remember correctly, there were about 20.

@jack-dodds 

Sinclair gas stations can still be found in many states, mostly west of the Mississippi River.  Many years ago, we had some in the Chicago area, but they are long gone.  Attached are two photos I took of a Sinclair station in western Montana in 2007.

@jkuvakas So there were 9 or so people that bought a full NB set, they each got one as a bonus - right?

I wasn’t at the table as the sales were being made. But, you’re correct, everyone who bought a set should have gotten the pumps.
