Hi all,

sometimes things are called for a second life.

Having recently bought the Technic  8020 set (which I had back in the 80s), I had the opportunity to rebuild the  little van, which is really cute. This little thing has always reminded me all those little egg-shaped Japanese vans , like the Bedford Rascal (rebadged Suzuki Carry), or Subaru Libero, or lately - the Piaggio Porter (rebadged Daihatsu Hijet).

Yesterday I had an idea to reload it in a modern way - and convert it into something else: a small, economic , light van operating on a narrow-gauge railroad.

RoadRailReloaded

No more Technic, basic bricks, some SNOT to emulate Technic. It lost the steering, but it gained 2 retractable rail axles. It works both on Lego track as well on G-gauge track (45mm).

It is simple and straight, not in scale, but it's always cute and it's again nice to see it around!

 

Ciao!

Davide
