dr_spock Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Greetings. There was a sale on the 3177 City Small Car so I bought three of them. I had to to get them home somehow. So I built a 3 car transporter like this North American fifth wheel trailer: So far so good, no problem getting the 3177s on the trailer. Lets hit the road. Oops, I haven't driven a tractor before and buggered the manual transmission. Time to call a tow. Quote
prateek Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Nice trailer! I also like the design of the tractor. The fron is really nice Quote
not-in-use-anymore Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 I've been waiting for Lego to release a minifig scale one of these for a while, great job.(there was a Creator one before, but it wasn't minifig scale ) Quote
lightningtiger Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Excellent 'dr_spock' - an excellent MOC - I like the prime mover and the trailier is not half bad neither - COOL ! I'm a conformist! ! Quote

I remember Creator had a tiny car transporter (Highway Hauler?) a few years ago and then came out with a large sized one recently (Highway Transport). Thanks prateek and lightningtiger. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Nice practical design. I like the fact that it holds three of the mini cars and I like the color of the cab. Overall, a great City vehicle. Quote
lemonaitor Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Thanks. I remember Creator had a tiny car transporter (Highway Hauler?) a few years ago and then came out with a large sized one recently (Highway Transport). Thanks prateek and lightningtiger. Yeah, I have that set, But i lost the instrution booklet and have MIxed it wiht the rest of my lego to make new stuff. Quote
Mr. Elijah Timms Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Agree with Indiana Jones... just feels like it's a matter of time before TLC drops one of these in a big way! Nice design though-- your truck cab is very clean and stylized. Quote
dr_spock Posted April 9, 2010 Author Posted April 9, 2010 Yeah, I have that set, But i lost the instrution booklet and have MIxed it wiht the rest of my lego to make new stuff. I did the same with my Highway Hauler set, lots of useful wheels. Instruction PDF for Highway Hauler can be found here -> http://cache.lego.com/bigdownloads/buildin...ons/4292939.pdf Thanks TheBrickster and Mr. Elijah Timms. Quote
slacker int Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Good stuff dr_spock! I really like the hood section of that truck, and the trailer looks very functional! If the parts allow you should put some alternate coloured 3177's on there. Quote

Do you mean something like this? http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=37009 I haven't accumulated enough spare car parts of similar colour yet. Quote
slacker int Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Do you mean something like this? http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=37009 how did i forget about that...it would work for sure! I think selanders 3177s represent the entire possible spectrum if you're trying to think of colour options. Quote

I didn't have enough red cheese for the bumper so I added fog lights. Quote
