(...) I saw some US heavy haulers on pictures. I think those looks strange because of the length, the ammount of dollies and the non steered axles. These vehicles doesn't fit on the Dutch roads!

Hi, I had a close look at the drawing at the bottom of the page: it looks like the first three axles as well as the last axle are steerable. It also looks like only the non steerable axles are powered. Greetings, David PS: Now I'd like to see a (...) (22 years ago, 12-Nov-02, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic)
