Nitrobarry Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I like what you`ve done Very nice indeed! To me though, as mentioned in the comments, the pumps are way to big. Question is, where to get correct scale pumps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for the pumps from the original Buddy L service station - sometimes they show up on eBay: If you want an older style, check out these salt and pepper shakers: They need nozzles and hoses, but I checked them against the measurements of a real Tokheim pump and they're within a hair of 1/25th scale.

Anglia105E Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 What a find, Chris...... Who would have thought salt and pepper shakers? ( and so close to 1:25 scale too ). David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repstock Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I got mine on eBay, a few at a time. The prices range from good to ridiculous. If you have patience, you'll eventually get all you need: https://www.ebay.com/itm/194092852008?hash=item2d30d5e328:g:7eUAAOSwVuRgdJzhhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/284276061721?hash=item42302c7619:g:fPkAAOSwDbJgWlqA Four is enough for most stations, although I have made eight for my '70s station. I scratchbuild a little at a time, as I feel like it. All the items in the picture are scratch. Good luck with your station, I hope this helps!

I believe the Buddy L gas pumps are 1/24 not 1/25 so yes, they are a little big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
