Vintage Lego Builds

Rebuilding forgotten Lego that were missing instructions

400-4 Vintage city bus

Let’s build this great long city bus as seen on this leaflet out of set 400-4 introducing wheels with axles to the Lego inventories. It is composed of bricks, wheels and plates. It is fairly easy to build and a bit demanding in number of pieces. It might not be very solid if built out of bricks without bottom tubes or platres with waffle back, so I would recommand using more recent bricks. That’s what I did to build it.
