Hi folks, first of all a big "Thank you" to all the authores how have contributed re-writing Non-CA parts or get the so-called L(EGO)Draw parts (coming from the LEGO Group through the LEGO Universe team) fit for the PT.

I've been doing a lot of work lately in building as many Technic models in MLCAD as I can. I find the lack of the following list of wheels and tires the most vexing. If anyone wanted to put them on a "most wanted" list, that would be great! * 41896: (...) (15 years ago, 18-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)
