City Advent Calendar - Day 22
Posted by MeganL,
Yesterday we had the latest in a string of microbuilds - though there's some debate as to whether it's a building or a chimney. We might get a clue in a future build - but with three days left, there might not be much time. Dare I hope that we'll finish the calendar on a festive note?
This is a very nice microscale train engine! Holiday trains are almost a necessity for advent calendars and it's about time one was included here. I particularly like the clear headlight and the warm gold cone to provide key details. It doesn't show in this picture, but there is an attachment spot available in the back of the engine, so it's not hard to guess what might be behind tomorrow's door.
Festive watch - the train is perfectly coloured with red and green, and it's a festive build to boot!

It took me too long to realise that that's not a 1x2 arch at the back of this build...
Very nice. And a vehicle with wheels!
Looks like a wooden toy at first sight (and that's not a bad thing).
I like it when we get little trains in these things.
Train mignonne cette petite locomotive
Clever, excellent representation of a toy in Lego. I like this one.
1 for 22 on the quality department, City!
@SMClabby:
I zoomed in to see if I could figure out what window piece they used before I figured it out.
YAY! (I mean, my name has train in it...)I found myself wondering yesterday, if City Advent Calendars are a bit stale at this point. Maybe an off year would be good... Maybe next year, SW, Marvel, Friends, HP...Classic? Or Disney? I mean, I buy these knowing the parts will be sorted...
This is the best microbuild in this calendar and we know there's only one left.
I agree with the above commenter. This looks like a Lego version of a little wooden train. I like it!
My favourite build from this year’s City calendar
I'm assuming this is somewhat fragile as the front and rear portion are only held together by the red part.
It looks like a microscale version of the 31015 Emerald Express.
