MUNI Metro LRV4

I finished making the instructions for the Lego Muni– and they’re now available on Rebrickable! Rebrickable makes it easy to assemble and order the pieces, and best of all, I’m offering the instructions for free 🙂.

Overview of different versions

V3.3

May 11, 2025

• Instructions and Parts
• Self-centering coupler

V3.2

Apr 21, 2025

• Coupler can now turn enough to connect to LRV4’s and no longer has buffers
• Even sturdier joint connection

V3.1

Mar 22, 2025

• Fixed joint not being able to rotate far enough by reducing the length of the protruding sides
• Fixed battery cable not long enough to connect by moving the battery closer to the hole
• Made the ceiling easier to remove
• Reinforced buffer connection
• Improved surface above body bogeys so they don’t get stuck as often
• Made the joint segments more similar in construction
• Swapped directions of roofs so that the battery is implied to be in front instead of behind. The train is much less likely to derail when the battery is in the front.
• Reinforced the roof

• 6 studs wide
• ~$200 to build (~$150 w/o motor)
• Solid joint, similar to V1 except 4-stud wide with extra bricks for 6-stud look with smaller length
• Bogey under joint connects to joint axis for simplified construction
• Doors removed for stronger structure
• Shorter than V2 for higher accuracy
• Sturdier buffer, with option for extension
• Sturdier connections of walls to each other and the joint
• Floor connection to bogeys allows for easier rotation
• Accurate gaps around bogeys for easier rotation
