Nearest the camera is the 1968 Diesel facility at Perth, seen in February 2010. This was built to replace those at Perth MPD and shows the original fuellers bothy alongside. Only having one pump made this inadequate for triple engined modern day DMUs, hence the new facility beyond. However, I still remember fuelling here on the 'disposal' with Class 26, 27, 20 (always needing water!) 37, 47 and the occasional 40. (There always seemed to be a huge brazier flaming away under the fuelling canopy to stop water and men freezing!)
