Description

A vehicle for the town

The set belongs to the City theme and its traffic range. It shows a sweeper of the kind that cleans streets at night or early in the morning. With 64 pieces it is small, and the included minifigure sits at the wheel. For a town layout it is a handy addition, because sweepers rarely turn up in model cities and add a detail that brings real streets to life without needing much space. In play the driver adds a touch of everyday town life, which makes role play with workers, police and residents easier.

Yellow, black, grey and a warning light

The main colours are yellow, black, light bluish grey and translucent orange. Yellow shapes the vehicle, the greys and black stand for machinery, tyres and brushes, and the translucent orange supplies the beacon. This colour scheme reads instantly as a utility vehicle and fits other City sets such as police, fire or construction. On display too, the yellow stands out pleasantly on a shelf. If you collect several sets, you get a coherent street scene in which every vehicle has a clear job.

41 part types, plenty of detail

Among the 64 pieces are 41 different part types, so nearly every piece is its own shape. That explains the detail at such a small size: brushes, bodywork and add-ons each need their own elements. The complete list with colour and quantity is on this page. It helps when you check a second-hand set for completeness or want to replace a single part. Small accessory parts in such a tiny vehicle are also easily lost or knocked off during play.

Build, play, reuse

The set goes together in a short time and can then be used straight away in town play. With “What can I build?” you can see on this page which other sets your parts allow. Wheels, windscreens and the orange beacon in particular are wanted in many vehicles. If you collect lots of small City vehicles, you can rebuild and combine them, making something new out of several older sets. This saves room and money, because you do not need a new set for every idea but can reuse parts you already have.
