LEGO® Fire Engine

Description

An emergency vehicle in miniature

Fire engines are among the most popular vehicle subjects of all, and as early as 1968 they were available as a kit. This model gets by with 76 pieces, yet they are spread across 30 types. That is a high proportion, since nearly every second brick is its own shape. No minifigures are included, so the crew is for you to imagine. Precisely because the vehicle stays small, it builds quickly and can be used in play straight away. Everything is easy to follow.

Red, black, blue and clear

The main colours are red, black, trans-clear and blue. Red is the obvious choice for a fire engine and forms the frame of the bodywork. Black suits the wheels and chassis, and the clear parts work for windows or lights. Blue recalls the flashing beacon, although the parts list on this page tells you exactly where it sits. That gives you a quick overview of every colour and quantity involved in the set.

Play it or display it

A fire engine invites play. You can stage a rescue scene with a house of your own making that needs saving, or design a fire station to go with it. If you prefer collecting, the set is an early vehicle from 1968 that looks good on a shelf beside other models of the era. It also suits beginners well, because the total number of pieces stays manageable and the steps are easy to follow.

Variety for fresh ideas

Those 30 different types are an advantage for such a small size, since they enrich any collection. With Bricoria's “What can I build?” tool you can see which other sets your bricks add up to. The red basics and the transparent pieces in particular turn up in many vehicles and buildings. If you take the fire engine apart one day, you are left with a versatile supply for projects of every kind.
