Description

Roadworks on the table

This one is about work on the road. The set offers the material for a small roadworks scenario that you can set up on a table or a shelf. It belongs to the Legoland range, under the construction theme. 159 pieces is not a large quantity, but it is enough for a compact scene. What makes it appealing is that the theme combines well with other vehicles you may already have at home, so a modest layout can grow bit by bit.

How the bricks are made up

The 159 pieces are spread across 38 different types. That points to a varied mix in which special parts sit alongside basic bricks. The parts list on this page names every type with its quantity. With it you can see exactly what you get and compare it with other sets. It is notable that the numbers match the Excavator and Dumper set 387-1; whether the contents are the same, a comparison of the two lists will show.

Yellow, black, red and clear

Black, yellow and red form the colour base, with transparent bricks added. The palette reads as typical building site: yellow for the machines, black for asphalt, wheels and underside, red for warning accents. Clear parts work as windows or light details. The result is a strong but uncluttered picture that goes well with other sets from the same year and does not look out of place beside them in a display case.

Play, collect, build on

As no minifigures are included, building comes first. With “What can I build?” you can see which further models your bricks allow if you own the set. As a collectable it documents what construction themes looked like in 1976. As a toy it suits anyone who enjoys inventing their own scenes, from a simple roadworks site to a longer stretch of new road with several machines working along it. When buying a used copy, pay attention to completeness and the condition of the bricks.
