Gas Pumps

[RichCostello]

Why are 1/25 scale gas pumps so rare? It seems like there are a lot of gas pumps made, but they are every scale EXCEPT 1/25!

They're out there.

I got a bunch of them a long time ago from Target (of all places) when they used to have a decent diecast collectible section. They were blowing them out on clearance and I think I got them for one or two bucks apiece. I also got 1/24 scale motorcycles that way.

Problem was the pumps were only the antique pumps with the globe on the top. I wished they could've had some 60s and 70s pumps to go with my same era cars.

There are quite a few on Shapeways. Most are in model railroad scales but most creators will rescale things if you ask them.

Just found quite a few on Ebay.

If you’re looking for 1/24-1/25 scale 1960’s - 80’s pumps, (even much later eras in some rural areas) the best is a resin line of kits from Doozy Modelworks. They’re available on eBay from time to time as well as some other online sources. They have 3 different designs and come in single and twin packs.

They also have many other types of highly detailed resin kits and items.

I only know the Doozy gas pumps. I have two  of the older ones. The Kits are nice with waterslide decals. I buyed them in Spain from the manufactorer  (I live in the European Union).

Never heard of them before. I just checked out their stuff. They have a lot of great looking diorama items. Not cheap, but they seem high quality.

I just noticed, pump says "unleaded premium" but it's only 87 octane. 

Someone's getting taken! ?
