From set “LEGO City Train Station” 7937. You will need the entire instruction booklet 1 (of 2) for this model.

I picked this model to build, because it uses a bunch of “modern” car-parts we got from pick-a-brick and build-a-car.

But it did require one unusual part we didn’t have for the front bumper, which I blogged about yesterday.

So, here’s how it came out:

I didn’t have any of those rounded roof pieces that is sloped up higher in the middle to accommodate minifig heads, so I had to add a row of flat bricks below the roof to give more clearance for heads.

Since I didn’t have one of these in my collection, I had to make an alternate bumper and grille.

Notice how the back of this piece has a slight curve so the wheels don’t hit it? That made my first prototype not work at all, and it took a couple tries to get a design that really worked. When I made this model, I tried different bumper styles in the front and back, but this one worked better.
