LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted February 13, 2021 Hello everyone, after building the Shell Chemical Plant for the refining of crude oil I had specified that you will have made a filling station for my diesel locomotives, in order to add further realism to the railway yard. Inspired by both the builder Monteur and the Bluebrixx models, I wanted to recreate my personal station. The funniest part was the realization of the two red pumps in the '60s style, otherwise the construction is very linear. Enjoy the pictures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zephyr1934 Posted February 13, 2021 That looks really good. It is visually interesting from all angles and although it is not a large MOC as I sit here a look longer I see lots of fine details, e.g., the handrails on the stairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feuer Zug Posted February 13, 2021 Simple, yet detailed. An effective, and often overlooked part of modern railway operations. Good work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toastie Posted February 14, 2021 Hi Emanuele, nice, nice and even nicer! As - well always. Plus: This thread pointed me to Emanuele's chemical plant thread [I missed that - Merde (ha!

Stuartn Posted February 16, 2021 That's an amazing build, all of the small details are great and I really like the tiled surfaces and the height variations on the base. The building is great, and the tank with all its little details like the wall around it and the handrail on teh gantry are astounding.
