Title: 3235 - City Life- Bundespost's bus
Post by: sweetking on September 10, 2010, 09:24:27

I found this set in nearly complete stand. I completed the missing elements (scarf, french cap, extinguisher) with the help of the collector's book and pictures on the web.

I really appreciate those vans, which are really simple and cheap to produce (move one clip and the set-up at the rear of the van gets off, then replace it by any other existing... TV van, Lufthansa bus, etc.)

I really enjoyed to discover the old purcells and letters and the funny addresses on them.


Sent the content list to PlaymoDB more than 6 months ago and never received an answer nor saw the inventory updated :/

That's a great set you've got and still with the original letters.  Thanks for the review.

playmoDB is run as a hobby by Heather and so she has to fit it in around the other things in her life such as running a home.  I'm sure she's grateful for the information and will use it.

I never really took notice of this set (just thought it was a normal van) but WOW that is a cool van inside!

Thanks for these pics, Sweetking :thanks:

It is now on my want list (although I know I am never going to find one) :(

BTW, does anyone know what the large box is at the front of the roof on these style vans?

It almost looks like an air con box, but it wouldn't be :-\

Damo :)
