The trailer also has three steerable axles. This can be seen best in the
next photo:

They are steered like in the next drawing:

Nope. I've used my motors in the Liebherr excavator.

The large gears of the crawlers are indeed from wood. I sawed some circles
and painted them black. The cylinders are aluminium pipes, which fit exactly
into eachother. So the cylinders are just for show (the upper part I have to
paint yellow). The operation is done by ropes and gears. This is the same as
the operation of Dennis Bosmans Liebherr excavator. See his site for more
details.
I hope this answers it all.

Evert
