This is a MOC of the Lego Grand Carousel set 10196.

It is all genuine lego.

I didn't build it, i bought it years ago off a man who had spent ages designing it and saying it used fewer pieces and was stronger than the original genuine set. It uses brighter colours and looks amazing.

It all operates as it should when turned. 

The small underside wheels do squeak as it goes round, but i will leave it to its new owner to gently lubricate.

There is no box or instructions as its a my own creation (Someone will ask!)

There is a set of new non genuine stickers if you want to add them.

There is also a sound brick included, this is a reprogrammed genuine Lego brick that plays the genuine grand carousel music. It's not attached.

The top sails look very good actually. There is the odd mark. They were dusty and had a few marks, so i have given them a quick clean, and turned them round for the photos! (just so you know).

There is also a motor mechanism, i have not used this. We always had it as a static display model (not in the sun)

I bought it years ago with the intention of fitting lights into the gold plates and installing the motor mechanism in the centre and have all the top as a gear drive mechanism, but never got round to it.

It is beautiful but it is time to let someone else enjoy it.

I have added loads of pictures of it as you can see, and gave it a light dusting, the white bricks are all pretty good, some very slight yellowing here and there, but i am being critical.

I would prefer someone to come pick it up, but if not, i will send it,but just take it apart into smaller sections and send loads of pictures to aid the build. It's fairly simple really.

It will be packaged well and insured for the full amount.

A few mini figures included.

The real sets are now silly money and too expensive to play with, this can be played with and modded as you like, which is what appealed to me when i bought it.

I am sure i have the original build design on an old computer in a lego design programme, if i can find it, i will include it on a memory stick. This is if i can find it! Please dont buy this if this is a must as i can not guarantee i will find it.

Any questions just ask
