Ah yes.  Thank you for pointing out some of the Cons of the model in it's
current state.  I would love to build it right now, but I don't have much parts
in my lego bin. And with a real model, some things are not possible.  An example
would be the bottom carrier rollers.  I used freestyle type rollers, but i'm
worried there might not be enough space for the studs on the wheel.

But such problems are an entire feat for me, as I do not know enough about
building to use the advantages of bricks.  I would love to fit all the features
into the bulldozer, with swinging track frames at the top of the list.

As for the file size & type, thank you for pointing them out.  I'll replace
them.

Chris
