Description

A lorry for the town

Tankers are part of every town's street scene: they deliver to petrol stations, factories and building sites. This model shows such a lorry with a large tank and a driver figure. In the City range, vehicles like this are what bring a play town to life, because alongside police, fire crews and builders you also need delivery traffic. It can be played with on its own, and it gets even more appeal alongside a petrol station or road plates.

White, grey and black

The palette is restrained: white for the tank, light bluish grey, dark bluish grey and black for the chassis, wheels and fittings. That gives a sober, industrial look, just as real tankers have. For your stock the greys and white fit houses, vehicles and spaceships alike, so these are very versatile pieces. Anyone who builds vehicles regularly will find a use for these colours almost every time. Black in particular is needed for wheels, bumpers and small mechanical details in countless models, and light grey suits tanks, pipes and metal fittings in particular.

75 types among 222 pieces

The 222 pieces include 75 different types. That is a good mix of basic bricks, plates and specialist parts for the cab, wheels and tank fittings. The parts list on this page records every element with colour and quantity. It is especially useful if you buy a used set and want to check that all the wheels and the small attachments on the tank are still there, and missing pieces can be reordered by number and colour.

For play and rebuilding

With a single minifigure the tanker is a simple toy for children who like moving vehicles about. If you prefer rebuilding, “What can I build?” shows which other models come out of this set and your own collection, such as a milk lorry, a fire engine or a truck with a different body. Because the tank is made of just a few large parts, there is plenty of room for ideas of your own, such as a trailer or a loading and unloading station that you can extend as you like.
