Description

A filling station in miniature

Almost every town needs a petrol station, and this set provides one in a handy size. With 157 pieces it is quickly built, yet there is still plenty here: pumps, an area for cars to stop and details that recall a real forecourt. The Shell branding gives it a real-world link, something that turns up fairly often in the Town Jr. range. It makes a good first model if you want to give a younger child a manageable build with a clear theme.

Red, white and strong contrast

The main colours are white, black, red and light grey. That mix reads as a petrol station at once: pale surfaces, red accents and dark elements for hoses and equipment. There are also 62 different parts, which is a healthy range for a set of this size. It makes expanding easier because you have bricks in several shapes rather than only plain standard ones. Individual pieces can also be reused as decoration on other buildings in your town.

Two figures and room to play

Two minifigures are included. You might see one as a driver and the other as the person working at the station, but how you hand out the roles is up to you. In play, a little scene appears: a car pulls up, it gets refuelled and then drives off. A vehicle is not part of the facts we hold for this set, so you can bring one from your own collection. That is exactly what the pump is for, as an addition to a larger town layout.

From the era of 1999

Sets from 1999 are mainly sought by collectors who want to complete the late-nineties Town range. On this page you will find the complete parts list, which lets you check what you still need for a full set. If you would rather plan with the bricks you already have, the “What can I build?” tool shows which models you could assemble from them. Both help to keep an older set alive, even when the original box vanished long ago.
