Not hugely classic but currently trying to sort out sets from offsprings Lego city collection (2008-2015 ish). In the case of big sets like fire and police stations chunks are still intact so I use those first, then look for parts that are similar i.e. correct jumper plates, tiles with grooves etc. then finish with whatever is available from bricklink or PAB. Everything is for my display only so I'm not too fussy but if I was buying an expensive old set I'd want original or period correct pieces only. Having said that I have been looking at mould numbers when I have more than one prospective part so maybe it does matter just a little

So quite a compact set then. It helped when I realised the LAs were the small ones. At the right price I could see myself buying this.

Are these the same wheels and tyres as in the old 42030 L350F? My tired eyes are struggling to get an idea of size

Does anyone recognise what this might have started as? Interesting features include rear step. DBG grille tiles on cab. Black axles with yellow plates. I know it isn't 7268 Prisoner transport but possibly from the same era as that and 7236 Police car As always any help getting some of these older sets back together much appreciated. EDIT: It's 7245 Prisoner transport I was looking at trans black windscreens but apparently its trans brown.

@Stereo Yep, further investigation has turned up this guy so I think you nailed it! Also thanks again to @Black Falconwho clearly knows how to choose just the right features to search in bricklink It looks like most of the tub is CMFs and polybag builds, no 99% complete Imperial Flagship today.

@Black FalconAnd one of the minifigs! Great work. I hope I can find that little steam loco...

Found a load of little micro builds in a box, would love to know if they belong together. Also what i think was a fire car as the minifig was a firefighter circa 2008? Also random minifigs. Do any of them suggest sets that might be in the box? As always any help or suggestions gratefully received

I immediately thought of 92177 Ship in a bottle but perhaps driftwood might be easier as a base. I feel large transparent pieces lose some of their impact when placed together due to the opaque stud/anti stud sections. Panels in a frame almost like a greenhouse might look good though.

This popped up on my YouTube suggestions and I wondered if it was being discussed here but couldn't find anything so thought I'd start a thread. Anyone else following? Looks like a fun build and I'm sure we might have comments based on our own building styles. I'd be using an axle in part two's aerial for a start.

@StereoGood spot, I didnt even notice that the yellow bonnet was in fact another roof! 1590 would be nice to find. I'm told the Lego was at least two generations so it could easily be sets from the eighties and the noughties.

@RunamuckI think you've nailed it! If all the parts for 6253 are present that would be a pretty cool find.

Anyone recognise these bits from a big box of Lego? I'm pretty sure the yellow cab is MOC. The red chassis looks like it wants to be a series Land Rover. All help gratefully received.

Yep, pieces that are added are edged in green. Sometimes my aging eyes could make it out, sometimes not... In this instruction however the pieces related to the arrows are not edged in green. Thus my confusion. I did try pinching and stretching the picture to make it bigger but it turns out that doesn't work with actual paper

Thanks for that Who's idea was it to have a black pin against a black background?!

Instruction no. 791 p.209 Two yellow arrows indicate the blue pins should be pushed in. What is the third yellow arrow indicating? Have I missed something?
