The Ascendor da Bica is more than just a mode of transportation; it\u2019s a vibrant thread woven into the fabric of Lisbon\u2019s identity. Christened \u201cThe Bica Funicular,\u201d it scales the steep hills of the Bica district with a unique charm. LEGO builder Peter_Designs\u2019 creation reflects this spirit faithfully. The tram itself is a marvel of LEGO engineering, built at a 20.5-degree angle to mirror the real tram\u2019s ingenious solution to conquer Lisbon\u2019s challenging topography. This intricate build utilizes 2997 pieces (with 773 being dedicated to the cart alone), ensuring not only structural stability but also a remarkably accurate representation of the tram\u2019s distinctive design.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ideas.lego.com\/projects\/05632fe5-cdaf-4765-9e6c-e4972fe94e59\">Peter_Designs<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-498921\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/07\/draft-biga-funicular\/lego_biga_funicular_train_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/07\/10\/lisbons-iconic-bica-funicular-railway-gets-a-stunning-2997-brick-lego-recreation\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Lisbon\u2019s Iconic Bica Funicular Railway gets a stunning 2997-brick LEGO recreation\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/07\/draft-biga-funicular\/lego_biga_funicular_train_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-498921\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/07\/draft-biga-funicular\/lego_biga_funicular_train_2.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/07\/10\/lisbons-iconic-bica-funicular-railway-gets-a-stunning-2997-brick-lego-recreation\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Lisbon\u2019s Iconic Bica Funicular Railway gets a stunning 2997-brick LEGO recreation\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/07\/draft-biga-funicular\/lego_biga_funicular_train_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"3bc6e972422920ff16873ebb-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"3bc6e972422920ff16873ebb-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The set extends beyond the meticulously crafted tram, offering a delightful recreation of the surrounding cityscape.
