Description

Help from the waterfront

In the classic town world of the late eighties there were rescue services on the water as well as fire and police. The Coastal Rescue Base is one such station: a building on the shore from which operations begin. At 374 pieces the model is compact without being small. It slots neatly into an existing town and gives harbour or beach scenes a clear focal point. If you already own boats or piers, you can place them right in front and extend the coastline.

White, blue, black and light grey

The colours are bright and friendly. White forms the walls, blue recalls water and response vehicles, black adds contrast, and light grey brings in equipment and fittings. With 110 different parts there is more detail in the base than the piece count first suggests. For collectors of the Town lines it is an interesting model because it shows the mix of building and furnishing that was typical at the time. The pale surfaces also make gaps and missing parts easy to spot.

Four figures on duty

Four minifigures staff the base: rescuers, a dispatcher and perhaps someone who needs saving. That is enough for stories with several stations, from the alarm to the return home. For display the base works as part of a bigger town landscape in which coast, harbour and street run into each other. For play it offers enough floor space to keep several figures busy at once. A boat or vehicle from another set usually fits in without any changes.

Bricks for your own buildings

The complete parts list helps you check a used copy or search for particular parts. With “What can I build?” you learn which other models your stock can make. White wall pieces, blue elements and window shapes are also useful for houses, stations or harbour buildings. That lets you treat the Coastal Rescue Base as a store of parts if you need material for designs of your own. Pale wall bricks in particular are often scarce for collectors and therefore welcome.
