Functional Engine Vintage Red

Hey guys! This is a revised version of my previous entry and in the colour red. It includes a very special functional engine which moves up and down as the front wheels turn.

The engine mechanism has been built in real bricks and it works very well (See below).

A rod (As the images show) connects the front wheels and as they turn, a piece in the middle of the rod turns and comes beneath the engine flap which raises up before falling back down with a clap.

When the car is pushed fast this gives an interesting clapping noise much like a little engine.

I didn't base this car off of anything because I had to build around the engine but I've tried to give it a 1950's - 1970's look to suit the Diner set era.

The car has 248 pieces and they all exist in this colour.

The base of the car is 18 x 6 studs with a slight overhang from side mirrors/ tires and fender/bumper.

Thank you all! 😊

Engine example. Sorry I don't have the exact pieces. This is just an example of the engine.
