I've completed the web page for my model of a Demag AC50-1 all terrain crane
and put it online here:
http://www.telepresence.strath.ac.uk/jen/lego/
The model is entirely radio controlled and features some new gadgets from
John Barnes. DAT files of the workings are there as well as some videos,
definitely better than the previous ones as I had expert assistance in the
filming this time! I'll be taking the model along to Brickfest so if it
survives hand luggage, you are welcome to put it through its paces.

My experience with a configuration like this is that the weight of the vehicle makes the pinion very hard to turn, due (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jun-02, to lugnet.technic)

| Wow! Jennifer, your work never ceases to amaze me. So much detail, so many complicated sub-systems, so little room for it all! Yet again another great model to marvel about.
