Amazing MOCs – The Old Workhorse Traction Engine

Posted By Adam White on Jul 16, 2018 | 0 comments

BricksFanz doesn’t feature as many MOCs has we should but when we see we like, then we have to share it. Fellow Leicester fan Bricked1980 has created a great little build, based on the early steam engines. The Old Workhorse Traction Engine is a great little MOC, bursting with detail and not only that, the images of the set have been well presented. Along with the main engine section of old fashion vehicle, a wooden trailer has also been included, along two fun minifigures and some scenery. It’s a great little MOC and if you like it as well, then you can also vote for The Old Workhorse – Traction Engine on LEGO Ideas.

A roaring fire and a full head of steam, the old traction engine is ready for work.

Recreate classic scenes from a bygone age with this detailed LEGO model. The farmers are working in the field with their traction engine, affectionately known as “The Old Workhorse.”

The set includes a highly detailed, mini fig scale model of a steam powered traction engine, as well as a wagon, minifigures and several accessories and mini builds that can be carried in the wagon. In total 480 pieces are included.

Key features include…

TRACTION ENGINE

• Highly detailed and authentic model in classic green and red livery with polished brasswork.
