Looking for a treat for construction site fans? Kids aged 7 and up will love building and playing with this LEGO® Technic™ Dump Truck (42147) toy set. It’s a great introduction to the world of LEGO Technic and helps young builders learn new engineering skills. And with the LEGO Builder app, kids gain confidence as they build.

Kids will love steering the Dump Truck around their make-believe construction site before lifting the tipper to drop off their load. Then, when they’re ready for something new, they can rebuild the model to create an Excavator for more role-play adventures.

This LEGO Technic set features realistic movement and mechanisms that introduce LEGO fans to the universe of engineering in an approachable and realistic way.

• A treat for construction site fans – Kids aged 7+ can build and explore a model construction vehicle with this LEGO® Technic™ set
• 2-in-1 build – This set features 2 models in 1. When you are ready for a new building challenge, the Dump Truck rebuilds into an Excavator
• Measurements – This LEGO® Technic™ building set measures over 3 in. (8 cm) high, 5.5 in. (15 cm) long and 2 in. (5 cm) wide
• An introduction to engineering – LEGO® Technic™ buildable model sets feature realistic movement and mechanisms that introduce young LEGO builders to the universe of engineering

When you are for a real challenge this model you can build without the instructions and just with the help of the images on the box and the instructions cover page. Nowadays the instructions make it to easy to build a set to my opinion. With sets up to 200 pieces I more-and-more discover ones you can build without the instructions.

This is a great set to explore and learn new building techniques. It is a relative small set with just a steering a tipper lifting mechanism. However accompanied with some relative unusual color choices like 'Dark Blue' and 'Bright Light Orange' which gives this construction set a twist because this theme in general comes in yellow! 

Main model

Features

Steering

This set has a very small and compact steering mechnism. I love these new part Light Bluish Gray Technic, Pin Connector Perpendicular 3L with 2 Pins. By losing on one side the pins you suddenly can create steering mechanisms with smaller wheels and as such smaller vehicles. Via hog-steering Black Technic, Gear 12 Tooth Double Bevel a smalllever is moved to the rack and pinion steering mechanism. Very inventive.

Tipper

The tipperto my opinion is plain-and-simple. Due to the Dark Blue Technic, Panel Curved 11 x 3 with 2 Pin Holes through Panel Surface parts you can nowadays with just a little amount of parts create such a tipper bucket. The tipper is moved by a simple lever construction; Via the Black Technic, Gear 12 Tooth Double Bevel a Dark Bluish Gray Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular is turned and a 5L beam is pushing the tipper due to off balance turning point. Very clever and works smoothly.
