Hi,

I don't know what "Named Beam" means in Portuguese. My set 210 has "Lego System"
in the front side of the box" and a drawing of a "Kiosk" on one of the sides of
the box next to the number of the set.

These sets were my parents'.

I don't know any of this set's with portuguese words.

Best regards
Nuno Lino

Nuno,

You have a #210 Small Shop set (produced 1955-65).  What is the name on the
Named Beam in that set?  I have seen 3 variations on that sign for Germany
(TABAK, WUERSTCHEN and BACKER).  I was wondering what variation was sold in the
#210 sets for Portugal?

Also, the #226 Named Beam parts pack has 7 different named beam bricks.  These
can have such names as:  HOTEL, GARAGE, CAFE, KIOSK, ESSO SERVICE...

Have you ever seen any Portuguese language named beams?

Thank you for your help!

Nuno,

A "named beam" is (usually) a white 1x6 or 1x8 brick with writing on it.  Common
ones are 1x8 bricks with "GARAGE" or "ESSO SERVICE" writing on one side, or a
1x6 brick with "HOTEL" or "CAFE" writing on one side.

Did that #210 set have a brick with writing on one side?
