Description

A lorry with mechanics

The centrepiece is a lorry whose character is shaped by gears. The set appeared in a range that combines basic bricks with mechanical elements. So you are not building a plain static model but a vehicle where something actually turns and moves. For anyone interested in the beginnings of technical building elements, it is a clear chance to see, using simple means, how power is passed from one part to the next.

Many types, few pieces

At 112 pieces the set is compact, yet 35 different part types is a high figure. That points to a mix of bricks, axles, gears and further special parts, each present in small numbers. Open the parts list and you can see exactly how varied the contents are. When you are tidying up or reordering, this view helps, because you can tick off individual types one by one without having to guess which ones are missing from the box.

A seventies palette

Red, black, yellow and milky white set the tone. Milky white in particular is a shade that appears less often in modern sets and gives the lorry a distinctive, slightly nostalgic look. Together with the strong red and the yellow it produces a vehicle that looks as if it had stepped out of a catalogue from the time. If you like to display your builds, this is a colourful, coherent model that holds its own even next to newer sets.

Building on from your stock

After building, take a look at the parts list on this page. It shows every type with its quantity so you can check second-hand sets or fill gaps without guessing. The “What can I build?” tool also shows which models can be assembled from these pieces if you take the lorry apart again. Gears in particular are popular for custom designs, so individual parts are easy to reuse in other projects, even if you never rebuild the whole lorry.
