Description

An emergency vehicle in miniature

The fire engine is one of the most popular subjects of all, and this set shows it in plain form. The 72 pieces come in 25 different types, with three minifigures as crew. That gives you a driver and further firefighters who can sit on the vehicle or stand beside it. The low piece count makes the build quick, so even younger builders can manage it alone. For collectors it is an early example of emergency-service models.

Red, black, clear and yellow

Red is the dominant colour and defines the vehicle at once. Black forms the chassis and details, while yellow adds accents. Transparent parts take the role of windows or a warning light. The parts list on this page shows how many pieces come in each colour. It is especially worth a look at the clear elements, as they are often scratched or yellowed in older sets. That way you can quickly tell whether a second-hand copy is in good condition.

A call-out with three figures

With three minifigures you can set up a small scene: a call comes in, the crew climbs aboard and the truck sets off. The set fits a town of houses and streets from other sets. If you like, build a burning building from your own bricks as the destination. As a display piece the truck sits well beside other vehicles from the seventies, such as police or rescue models. The simple build also makes the set a good gift for beginners.

Parts for new ideas

After the build, the 72 pieces stay flexible. With “What can I build?” on this page you can see which other models result from this set and your own stock. Red and black bricks are useful in almost every collection, for vehicles as well as buildings. If you buy a second-hand fire truck, use the parts list to check it is complete. That turns the small set into a practical building block that fits into bigger projects.
