(...) Here's a powerful front end loader for Datsville. Be sure to let only authorized minifigs operate it, as this is no children's toy. One part is included as an MPD, the 2951 bucket/scoop.

Good but it is too large for datsville, IMHO. The front end loader i am making uses the digger bucket arm pieces in the tractor catogory -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (25 years ago, 27-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
