wherever you'd like.Building the GBC add-ons is separated from building the chairlift. I updated my chairlift, to be a GBC, capable of transferring lego balls to, well. Running horizontally is possible by adjusting the ground station a bit (lower the wheel, basically).įinally, the direction of rotation can also be changed (by swapping 2 parts in every chair). Off course, the length of the bar between the stations has to be adjusted accordingly. Use longer or shorter hoses, or enlarge/reduce the number of chairs. Same holds for the angle of the lift, thanks to the hinging bar. The height (altitude) of the mountain station is adjustable. You can remove the stations from the bases to provide your own alternative base, integrate with a building, etc. Then, for example, put the mountain station on top of a Bygglek box. You can separate the mountain station base. Minifigs don't forget to put on warm clothes!
To swap between summer and winter, simply replace the appropriate decorative bricks. Or provide manual operation without the lever on top. For example, hide a motor inside the mountain. Through the base of that station is an axle to use whatever driving force you want. The lift is operated with the lever attached to the mountain station wheel. This ensure a strong connection between the base plate and the construction. Furthermore, the liftarms through the bottom of the bases are connected to technic bricks. They allow a technic axle inside, and connect to liftarms for maximum stability. That's why I chose these particular pieces for that. The bases must be 'thin' (to avoid the chairs bumping into them) as well as stable.
The bar hinges at the stations, giving flexibility in the height/angle of the whole construction.
It ensures there is tension on the cable, and prevents the whole construct to "implode". They took quite some iterations.Īn important part of the construction is the bar between the stations. The big wheels were quite a challenge (must be round and strong). When enjoying the views in the Austrian Montafon valley, I got the inspiration for using pneumatic hose as "cable" and T-connectors to attach chairs. Here is my solution: a working chair lift. Would they like an easy way of getting there? If you like this, then please support this on Lego Ideas.ĭo your minifigs love mountains, like I do? Directly ordering from the inventory might give the wrong part. Note: If you want to build this yourselves, read in the instructions on how to find the correct pneumatic hose.
