I've been hard at work on the decor...

We have had one of the coldest winters in history so what better way of spending my time than working on the inside of the garage. I've added some new signage (a few neon as well), some perimeter LED rope lighting, a working traffic signal, I also restored a crosswalk sign (this is going outside), and since I've also put on a few pounds on I made the garage a small gym (besides being a shop, man-cave, and garage).

My next project is a working railroad crossing which will be installed outside as soon as the weather allows, (see pics).

Have fun!

Wally

Great looking space and garage! I'm a bit jealous of all the pumps.

Kindred spirit! We share the same decorator. Gotta love petrolina. I'm hoping for a few reflective RR markers with the real marbles.....pricey

I guess so, I restored this pump but sold it a while back.

I love the railroad sign/lights. Nice pump collection!

Thanks, I'm super stoked to finish this project. I have everything on schedule to get it done except the weather is being difficult. Here are some pics form this project.

Oh yea...gotta love those Interceptors. Great job on the whole project. Achieving your vision is tough to see to the end sometimes. My project is stalled at the moment.

I'm jealous! That's going to be an awesome display. I'm out of space, so I have to be satisfied with a single flashing crossing light and cast sign.

Looks good Wallster.

I found this neon sign in the dumpster about 10 years ago and had to touch up the paint then redo the neon. It really lights up the toy box at night.

Ahh, good ol Genny Cream Ale! I grew up in the Rochester, NY area home of the Genesee Brewing Co. Good memories! Very nice collection of pumps and signs.

Thanks everyone, here's where we're at. The RR crossing sign has been completed. She's sitting on a jig on my motorcycle lift and I'm waiting for warm weather so I can excavate the hole for the foundation/mounting bolt cage (and run electrical). Everything works and it stands at a hair over 11'
