Tram Stop Sign
How do tram drivers know where to pick up minifigs? They stop at the designated spot, clearly marked by a Tram Stop Sign! If you have a LEGO city full of 3D billboards and logos, this fits right in between those oversized signs.
MOC in action
This MOC was used in the Space Squad adventure:
Everything is so big!
Special features
Size wise the Tram Stop Sign is in style with the Vintage Tram. The tram in the sign is modelled mostly after the minifig-scale Tram Cart.
It was quite a challenge with the upside down building that derives from fitting the window in. So, I was very surprised to find out that the little 1×1 corner panels fit over the 1×1 bricks with bar! And that Bricklink Studio indicated it was all legal (read: no collusions).
Extensions
I chose to add two clips to the sign, to have several options for attachment. For instance on a lamp post, a tree, a building or façade, or even on a proper covered tram stop with a waiting bench.
Moreover, there is the option to change colours on different elements of the sign:
- You can easily change the tram colours (red, black and yellow) to match your own tram.
- The blue of the sign can be switched to more realistic colours of your region, but check up front whether those parts are easy to source.
- When you are hanging the sign somewhere else, you can blend the clips in by swapping the colour, to black or dark bluish gray for example.
