Hi everyone! I always thought a subway set would be a nice addition to anyone’s LEGO city and bring a whole other dimension to the street level buildings. I take the subway a lot in my everyday life so I tried to draw some inspiration from my travels (except being squeezed in the subway car at rush hour). So I’m super excited to share this model with everybody!

I tried to fill Subway Square with a ton of storytelling, little details, intricate builds, various buildings techniques and creative parts usage for the best building experience. I also did a lot of test build to make sure the build is as stable and strong as possible.

Story

It’s buzzing at Fountain Square Station! Get off the subway train and meet the janitor cleaning someone’s mess. Climb the stairs to end up in the Square, surrounded by an old and beautiful fountain and flower beds. Will you make a wish? But watch out for the dogs and pigeons, they can be voracious! Fancy a nice little Café or a luxurious Italian meal at the restaurant? Or perhaps it’s time to visit the Jewelry Store upstairs for a shiny gift… There are tons of story to unfold and details to discover in Subway Square.

Features

The model folds in two to close the subway station!
To the top part is split into four 16x16 plates, easily removeable and interchangeable! That way the model can be rearranged in many different combinations. You can have a closed building by combining the restaurant half and café half into a big restaurant (the original building), or you can move the fountain around to mix the scene.
You can also switch the plates on top with any 32 x 32 baseplate that can rest on top of the model, held by the sides for more stability. It gives more options to integrate the model with what you've already got in your display.
The subway street entrance connects to the subway station through a big stairway, allowing minifigs to reach the station in a "realistic" way.
Discover the hidden sewers, with an opening manhole on the street level, ladders, pipes and a broken waterline to fix!
The subway platform includes a bench, a vending machine, a ticket machine, a map, the janitor’s office and more little details and easter eggs spread around.
Uncover the mystery of the stolen jewels: help the jewelry store owner find the missing jewels across the model and find the culprit with the hidden clues…
Underground details include an anthill, plant roots, stray rats and a dinosaur fossil!
The subway train can fit on standard train tracks! The bogies turn and the car can be connected with magnets to other trains, or even multiplied to make a bigger subway train (if you build more copies with your own collection)
