The ESSO Filling Station
Having the layered instruction for the sets, while useful, still left us scratching our heads at times during the last build (The Small Store).
The ESSO Filling Station build will need the skills we learnt with the cafe and the tiny house - the curved plates and the older-style bricks mean lining up the roof line will be difficult.
Released in 1958, the Esso Filling Station (set #310) came with a truck, a petrol bowser and an ESSO sign. It also came with a neat little base plate that was spring loaded which allowed the garage door to open and close. The truck, petrol bowser and the ESSo sign was also included in the Town Plan set. The building design is very close to the real ESSO buildings design of the late 1950s.
