Rebuilding forgotten Lego that were missing instructions

842-2 – The Samsonite Town Plan Gas Station

Hello vintage LEGO lovers ⛽

At the edge of Town Plan set 842, quietly placed near the road and ready to serve the steady flow of tiny traffic, sits a building that may be small in size but essential in function: the gas station.

The original step-by-step instructions reveals a pretty basic structure with unsual use of 1×2 combined to 1×3 over 1×4, probably for stability purpose. It’s minimalism before minimalism was cool.

The insturctions bellow are missing the 2 x1721 that we can see on the picture because they are not part of Stud.io scope.

Let’s rebuild this simple Shell early gas station!
