Description

Many types, few bricks

Most sets of this size consist of a few shapes that are repeated again and again, but here the 88 pieces are spread over 38 different types. In other words, nearly every second brick is a one-off. The reason lies in the theme, since gears, axles and connectors are special parts needed in small numbers. The set is therefore less about mass building than about experimenting with how movement can be passed on inside a model.

Red, yellow, black and milky white

The main colours are red, yellow and black, joined by milky white, which looks a little softer than pure white. This helps gears and axles stand out from the basic structure, and a glance shows how power travels from one part to the next. The parts list on this page gives each type with its colour and quantity, which is especially handy when so many pieces appear only once or twice, and a single gear is easier to find in a list than in a mixed box.

Mechanics on the farm

The name combines two things: the farm as a play theme and gears as a technical building principle. Building the set teaches basics such as gear ratios and direction of rotation, without any electronics being needed. For curious builders who want to understand how machines work in miniature, that is an appealing approach. As there are no figures, the mechanical side takes centre stage and can easily be combined with other scenes.

Special parts for other projects

Gears and axles are useful in many models, such as cranes, vehicles or anything that turns. The "What can I build?" tool on this page shows what your collection could produce if you add these parts to it. Since many types appear here only in small numbers, it is worth checking the parts list before you start searching: that way you quickly see which rare elements you are missing and which you already own. That matters most for collectors completing an old gear set who need to know exactly what is absent.
