Lego 149 Fuel Refinery

The Lego 149 Fuel Refinery is one of the larger Lego structures of the 4.5 and 12 volt lines. At a staggering brick count of 328, it just has as many pieces as a deluxe train set! As Lego does, this is another promotion for the shell gas corporation. Just getting a little off topic, but before the year 1992, Lego has been using shell for all their gasoline, or power related set it would have shell, but after 1992 Lego created the fictional Octan gas company for their new lines. I suppose it’s a trademark issue or something, but with the set it uses shell on the tanker, the truck, and even on part of the buildings. The set included a tanker vehicle 3 minifigures and a train track. The detail here is excellent, it looks like it could actually run a business, but of course it can’t because it’s a toy. It would bake a great addition to any Lego train track!

The Lego 149 Fuel Refinery was released in 1976, contains 328 pieces and includes 3 minifigures.
