There are no “self-service” gas stations in NORMANED RR territory. This full-service garage is located on the highway between Genesee Junction, Noma Town and Central City.

*Note: Often, in creating the NORMANED census over the years, we have used any figure(s) which we considered to be “close enough” to complete a scene the way we wanted it to look, even mixing scales from HO to 1:32 and Standard Gauge size when “forced perspective” made it all come out “O.K.” These figures are old, new, metal, rubber, paper, plastic, wood, plaster, carved bone, ivory, china (ceramic), big, small, hand-painted, factory-painted, unpainted, commercial, homemade, stock, modified, restored, customized, etc., etc., etc. They've been obtained from toy stores, hobby stores, pet shops, craft shops, party favors, train meets, Christmas decorations, relatives, friends and some folks not so friendly. In a word, then, the NORMANED's population is as diverse as the model railroad and, all things considered, the hobby itself.
