Alywin Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Hi, All. This is my first time to post my tiny creation at Eurobricks. Any critics and comments are highly welcomed. This truck is modernized and heavily modified from the truck from 7622. The cockpit has been totally revamped as well as the front engine part. The truck is made to adapt to interchangeable engines from 10200. Doors at two sides and elevation platform at rear part are added for additional fun. The truck body has been modified to allow carriage of a horse comfortably, with elevation platform able to lower to allow the horse to walk into or out of the truck. So, hope you enjoy! More photos of this truck are at my Brickshelf: Alywin's Horse Truck Thanks for watching! Quote
Dennimator Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Cool! This looks ALOT better than the original truck! Great job! Ever tried building 5-wide cars? Quote
Grimer Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I agree it looks better. The tail gate looks very useful and practical too. Quote
BlueBard Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Wonderful design, specially the engine! Quote
Alywin Posted December 16, 2008 Author Posted December 16, 2008 Thanks all! Cool!This looks ALOT better than the original truck! Great job! Ever tried building 5-wide cars? I haven't had that particular thought in mind so far. Of course 5-wide cars involve more building techniques, and so I might do one later. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 Excellent! What a great idea to hollow out the original truck engine for the interchangeable engines. Clever idea! The truck looks real good too. Do you plan to modify those in Shanghai Surprise as well? Quote

Clever idea!The truck looks real good too. Do you plan to modify those in Shanghai Surprise as well? Thanks. The 10200 interchangeable engines concept is rather a good idea for City series vehicles. I am actually not a collector of IJ theme. I got this truck and the jeep still in mint state out of a MISB 7622 set (but without all minifigs, horse and other accessories) at a rather cheap price locally, and so build them up, and later revamp them to integrate with my other City collections. So if I could grab the Shanghai Chase cars at dirt cheap price again, I might do similar tricks! That seems unlikely in short future though. Quote
