Description

A slice of country life

Rather than a single vehicle or building, this set is about a whole scene on the farm. That encourages you to build several small things side by side and arrange them however you like. The 120 pieces are spread over 26 types, and because the set belongs to the range with people, play comes first: you are creating a setting in which something can happen afterwards, not a model to look at from one angle.

Plain primary colours

Red, black, yellow and blue dominate. These were the core colours of many sets in the seventies, and they mix easily with both older and newer bricks. Red and yellow work well for buildings and equipment, while black and blue suit surfaces and details. The parts list on this page shows how many of each type there are in each colour, which helps if you want to check your own stock before looking for the missing pieces. Because the palette is so limited, sorting what you already own into these four colours is quick.

Play rather than display

A scene like this is meant less for the shelf than for the carpet or the kitchen table. You put it together in a short time, change it while playing and rebuild it quite differently the next day. A few standard bricks are ideal for exactly that, because they can be rearranged at will. With only 120 pieces the whole thing stays manageable, whether for younger builders or for a quiet afternoon. How you place the buildings, equipment and surroundings is entirely up to you, since play has no fixed order.

Start small, extend freely

With 120 pieces the scene goes together quickly, yet it makes a good foundation for additions. If you already own some of the bricks, the "What can I build?" tool on this page shows which other models the same mix can produce. For collectors it is a neat example of how entire play worlds used to be made from a handful of standard bricks. Everything beyond that is left to your imagination, and a few extra bricks are often enough to expand it.
