Description
Step by step, fully-illustrated building instructions for seven LEGO train models including a coal gondola, milk tanker, open hopper, depressed flatcar, passenger coach, powered box car, and diesel locomotive. Design alternatives suggest ways to customise the train cars, improve an existing LEGO train collection, or even pair the models in this book with an official LEGO train set.
