The Bucket Wheel is a detailed model that resembles a giant digger that wouldn't be out of place on a huge building site. It has numerous motorized functions, for instance, it can drive forwards and backwards via moving conveyor belts, the main body can rotate 360 degrees in both directions and the bucket wheel can turn. A separate, mini truck type vehicle comes with the set and this can be used for transporting material around the 'site'. There is a driver's cabin that opens up and a lego figure can sit inside.
