Nitrobarry Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Is there anybody out there making resin 1/25th scale vintage (50`s/60`s) gas pumps and decently priced garage kits. Scale Modeling by Chris is done ( he passed away) and I can`t find anything else. I have Texaco decals and I can get scale shop equipment but no pumps.

bill lanfear Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Doozy has some awesome 1/24 scale pumps but at a cost at around $30 for two. I made my own from styrene and tin foil and "other" stuff and made them to light up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might consider buying a pair for that price, but can't talk myself into paying that for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I remember was that I couldn't quite justify that much plus shipping. My diorama requires 7 of them and there was just no way. That is when I decided to build my own.

Scale Modeling by Chris is done ( he passed away) and I can`t find anything else. I have Texaco decals and I can get scale shop equipment but no pumps. MRC made 2 complete 1/24 scale gas stations some years ago. One was a Texaco station, the other a generic "Joe's" station. They came with 2 vintage gas pumps, oil cans and lots of other accessories. The Texaco version will probably never be re-issued due to licensing issues, but I'm just guessing about that. No problem if you have your own Texaco decals. The "Joe's" version has been re-issued by Academy. Several are up on eBay right now. It's Academy kit number 15122. Prices seem to be in the range of $50-75 from sane sellers. Which is not too bad, considering all you get in the box. Marx made several different service stations, and I think some were 1/25 scale or close. The real prize in toy service stations is the 1/25 scale Texaco station released at Christmas of 1960 and made by Buddy-L. Many years ago, The Other Magazine ran an article with an incredible diorama built around that station. It featured several Jo-Han cars converted into station wagons. I remember a '56 Pontiac and '58 Olds. EDIT: Model Roundup has the Joe's station in stock now, for $79.90. Their listing has more pix of it: https://www.modelroundup.com/product-p/mrc-academy-5122.htm Edited June 5, 2019 by Mike999 goof3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrobarry Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 I actually bought this awhile back and since it`s in 1/24th scale, the pumps seem (at least to me) way to large. Now granted, I may have forgotten how tall these things actually were, but they are just to big to my old eyes. Soooo, I have a buddy who has a early 60`s pump that I will measure and scale down to 1/25th to see if my assumptions are correct. I`ll post my results for the rest of you all. Thanks for all the comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the comments. Barry, I have mentioned this before . Here it is again ! To begin , the pumps SUPPOSEDLY are copies of Wayne 555's . They are a scale foot too tall. The detail is lacking in the dial face and the FISH BOWL lenses , for get them !!!!!This station here is completely scratch built using Foamcore . Generally , I usually build my own as I restore the real thing and I have access to the actual dispensers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Austin Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 This appears to be a Buddy-L station. This display is set up every year at the show in Taunton, MA (formerly known as the MassCar show). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
