Description

A station with room for the engines

Modular Buildings are designed to stand side by side and form a continuous street. The Fire Brigade takes the role of the civic building: a tall house with a door for the vehicles, rooms for the crew and plenty of facade. At 2,236 pieces it is far bigger than a typical town set, and four minifigures bring the station to life. It is aimed at builders who enjoy a long project and want something worth showing off when it is finished.

The colours of an old town

Light bluish grey, dark tan, dark red and dark bluish grey set the tone. These muted shades suit brick and stone, so the building reads like a genuine station from an older city. The red is used sparingly, which keeps the model from looking like a toy and gives it the feel of a place with history. With 186 different part types it includes window frames, cornices and roof details, all listed further down this page for easy checking.

Building floor by floor

A building this size grows storey by storey, which has a practical benefit: you can stop after any stage and pick up later without losing your place. The floors also lift off, so you can see inside and play with the figures. For families it is a good mix of display piece and play space, and children can help arrange the interior once the main structure is complete, from tables to equipment.

Extending your street

If you already own other modular buildings, set the station next to them and build a street house by house. The parts are useful for homes of your own design too, since windows, doors and decorative elements are very versatile. The full list is on this page, and the “What can I build?” tool shows which further sets become possible from your collection plus these pieces. The station can become the starting stock for a whole town of your own.
