Hi Ondrew!

Thanks for the praise!

   Anyway a few minor points. Have it molded in black as it is more realistic in the USA and in red for the Europeans.

Of course! But since I designed it I wanted to have a start in red. ;-)

   Also drive rods! I have never seen a drive rod that is realistic to the squared off shape of the real thing.

I think there are other parts you could use: pneumatik tube, Flex-Stuff from the 90ies LEGO® technic, and other parts - Just be creative!

I wanted this design to consist out of as few new molds as possible. Therefor I would even prefer moulded counterweights now.

Leg Godt!

   Other than that what you came up with is exactly what I am hoping for. It is a simple 2-part mold that makes the wheel simple enough to be cheap to make and realistic enough to have people asking where I got them.
