A lovely idea, but they have already half-built two Italian motorcycles
already with the technic series - just add shaft drive with some bevel gears
and you have a Moto Guzzi. This is one type of 'Model Team' set which could
combine technic elements to work AND look like the real thing.

Or how about the RMS Titanic AFTER the sinking - less bricks required, just
some brown elements to represent floating wooden doors and plenty of inanimate
minifigs to cling on hopelessly?

A 'Model Team' version could be made 'narrow guage' and work with the existing
9v train system

I would love to see ANYTHING representing a real life* item or vehicle. Can
you remember the last time this was achieved with a Lego set - Technic Space
shuttle maybe?

(...) Hmmmmm...this sounds a good idea.Why not ,for example, 10 wide narrow gauge trains or tramways? Gianluca (26 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.dear-lego)
