Description

A lorry for the docks

Container transport was already part of everyday life in 1980, and the Danish shipping line Maersk was a well-known name in it. The set shows an articulated lorry with a container, bringing freight traffic into the town. At 306 pieces it is a mid-sized model that can comfortably be built in an afternoon. The parts list on this page shows which bricks in which colours belong to it, and what could be missing from a used copy.

A blue of its own

The main colour is called Maersk blue in the parts list, a shade that turns up specifically for this theme and differs from the usual blue. It is joined by light grey and black for the chassis, wheels and bodywork, and by trans-red pieces for the lights. If you gather sets from this period, make sure the shades match, because the difference from ordinary blue shows up quickly when bricks sit side by side.

Play with a single driver

The lone minifigure sits at the wheel and drives the container through town. That is enough for simple scenes from harbour to warehouse, and the lorry combines well with buildings from Classic Town. With 45 part types among 306 pieces the model stays easy to follow: many identical bricks form the container walls, while a few special shapes make the cab and chassis. That keeps the build straightforward, even for younger builders. The cab comes together in just a few steps and leaves room for changes of your own.

Reusing the container and cab

Add the set to your collection and the “What can I build?” tool will show which other models your bricks make possible. The large container body supplies plenty of flat wall pieces that suit warehouses or trailers of your own. The wheels and chassis fit into other vehicle projects. Use the parts list to work out exactly what you must replace or add in order to turn the lorry into something new.
