Not strictly train related, but this site may be useful for those modeling the automobile age.

There's a lot of modeling information there from years gone by to the present.

Thanks for posting.

Wow, what an awesome site, thanks for posting it. I've only looked thru a few of the brands, I can't believe how many there are! I was surprised to see so many Esso stations in the 2000's, they were all changed to Exxon in the 70's ( I think it was the 70's) around here. Did they not change in Canada?

Remember the "Tiger in Your Tank" ad campaign of Exxon? And the Sinclair Dinosaur? Well about the same time, Standard Oils company decided to use a bee as their"spokesperson." So they started to build an ad campaign using a bee, but the reatailers put a stop to it becuase they didn't want to be known as "The Esso Bees."

true story!!!
