New cars from 60083 snowplow truck

Recommended Posts

I recently bought the heavy haul train. apparently i'm addicted to Lego trains....

anyway I hate two of the cars that come with the train, the helicopter hauler and the backhoe hauler, so i was looking around for other cars to build with the parts...

I was looking through the Lego section in the toy store, and i noticed the 60083 snowplow truck. the bed of that truck got me thinking about a car I could build from the parts. NOTE: this requires purchasing 2 sets at $20 each, but you get a second (less interesting to me) car as part of the bargain. you will, as always, have to provide the train parts yourself. These were built using mostly the parts available in the 60083 bags.

this is the one i like best. i have two versions, with a few different details.I'm not entirely happy with the smooth pieces on top of the car, I wish they were grey. They add a little bulk, but are a little fragile. The bracing inside the car that needs a little more work to look right, but overall really nice, and it works out to $20 per car plus a what the train bogies cost..

this is the other style of car, sort of a tanker car. this one is a complicated build, and is pretty fragile. but you have the parts This one still needs a little more work but the car looks pretty nice I think.

Anyway, I enjoyed the experience of building these, and I thought I'd share my ideas.
