Description

Town traffic after dark

Classic Town was the city range of the nineties, full of roads, vehicles and buildings. Midnight Transport fits right in: a delivery vehicle whose name suggests a night run. At 275 pieces it sits in the middle of the size scale and can be built in a single evening. It suits anyone who wants to give their town a vehicle with a touch of mystery, without needing an enormous box to do it.

Black with red and yellow touches

Black is the main colour, followed by light grey, red and yellow. That explains the nocturnal look: the dark base makes red and yellow read like warning lights or markings. What stands out is the variety, because those 275 pieces include 95 different kinds. That means plenty of small special parts, and the parts list on this page helps you avoid missing anything when sorting or hunting for replacements.

Three minifigures

Three minifigures come with the set. You can use them as driver and crew or simply place them in your town as passers-by. Since the theme is Classic Town, they also blend into scenes with police, fire engines or a petrol station. The parts list shows which figure pieces are included. If you like to mix figures, you can invent your own stories for the town at night without having to buy extra sets to do it.

Rebuilding and reusing

The set dates from 1993 and is mostly found second-hand today. Use “What can I build?” to see how much of the vehicle your existing bricks already cover. The black and grey parts are versatile too, working in cars, buildings or castles. If you ever take the vehicle apart again, you are left with a useful stock of dark basic bricks, which is rarely a bad thing for any builder.
