Description

A small ferry with special status

This set also depicts a ferry of the Viking Line shipping company and was issued in 1982 as a promotional set. It was therefore never a standard shop product but a special edition handed out by a company. At 179 pieces it is a manageable project that fits comfortably into one quiet evening. If you collect the ferries group of promotional sets, here is another piece you can place alongside related models on your shelf.

White, red, yellow and blue

White, red, yellow and blue give the ship a livelier appearance than its sister model. Yellow adds a warm accent next to the pale hull. The box holds 32 different part types, which is not many for 179 pieces. Plenty of bricks repeat, and for exactly that reason the parts list is quick to read through, saving time and avoiding mistakes when you check a second-hand copy against it.

A model for the shelf

No minifigures are included, so the ferry is mainly a display model. It looks good on a windowsill or a bookcase, especially beside other ships from your own collection. If you would rather play with it, you can always put your own figures on deck. The model is plain enough not to shout for attention, yet recognisable enough as a ferry that it brings back memories of crossings and harbour views at a glance.

Parts list and ideas

You will find all 179 pieces with colour and quantity in the parts list on this page. It is useful when you want to check a used set for completeness or reorder individual bricks. The “What can I build?” tool also shows which other models you could put together from the bricks you already own once this set is added. If you own both ferries, you can mix their parts and try out ship designs of your own. That freedom is a real bonus.
