Description

A slice of city transport

This bus station is part of Classic Town, the city range of the late 1970s. It recreates a stop where passengers wait and buses depart. With 179 pieces and four minifigures the set is small but well staffed, with enough figures for a driver and a few travellers. The 42 distinct parts show that the structure is built mostly from simple bricks, which makes it a quick and relaxed project for an evening or a rainy afternoon.

Red, black, yellow and white

Red dominates and gives the station its bold look. Black covers the road and small details, while yellow and white add accents on the roof, signs and walls. The palette suits the town sets of the period, and the bricks slot easily into other buildings. The red plates and roof parts are particularly useful for houses, fire stations or station halls, so the pieces will not sit unused in a box once the model is finished.

Play with it or add it to a town

The station works as a stand-alone model, but it really comes alive next to a street or a square. Four figures allow for little stories: who is waiting, who is boarding, who is driving? If you are building your own town, it makes a good anchor where paths meet. Collectors of early town sets may also enjoy it as a quiet, honest display piece that shows how simple city scenes used to look.

Parts from your own boxes

Do you already own plenty of red and black bricks? Then the “What can I build?” tool on this page is worth a try, because it shows whether the station could be built from your collection. Any missing pieces appear in the parts list below, so you can order just those. With only 42 distinct parts, the gap is often smaller than you would expect. Bear in mind that older reds may differ slightly in shade.
