Class C Motorhome

Tour the country in comfort in this luxurious model. Sleeps three minifigs: one above the cab and two in the rear. Includes a complete galley for cooking meals on the road, and television over the rear bed which is connected to a satellite dish on the roof.

The roof comes off for optimum playability.

Dump Truck with Trailer

Posted August 8, 2002 22:20 | Category: Trucks | #

Another way of transporting sand and gravel is a dump truck with a trailer. First the truck dumps its own load, then the hopper on the trailer is moved into that of the truck, and it can then dump that one as well. This is a fairly common design, at least in my part of the world.

City Bus

This modern low-floor bus provides easy entry and exit for all minifigs. The doors are mocked up - they don't actually move but can be posed in either open or closed position.

Black Truck

Posted August 8, 2002 21:19 | Category: Trucks | #

This truck is my favorite design for a semi. It includes a red refrigerated trailer. Instructions for building the truck and trailer are available on Brickshelf.

The hitch design is the same as that of the yellow hopper truck so they can exchange trailers.
