(...) Hi, this is _my_ original picture: (URL) scanned the official 2005 german dealer catalog at 27-11-2004. The crane pic is from the back side of the catalog. In the middle of the catalog the crane was shown with box, but it was very bad to scan. (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hmmm maybe you're right, and those elements are used to hold the outriggers too. I thought the 2-stud section at each end of those was separate, but looking at the boom, that isn't really possible. Oh well, maybe not as useful as I first (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) First one is a prototype. The one on the following photo is the Real McCrane ;-) (...) I cant's see anything like that? The boom is made of 3 large elements, 12 studs long, 3 bricks tall, 4 studs wide. Two of such elements hold the outriggers. (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Speaking of missing parts.... (sorry, change of topic here...) What's the recommended course of action when a person _does_ discover that there is a missing piece in a set? I mean, it's all very well and good to just return it to the store and (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.general)

(...) I was just about to write that my guess would be that axle's 1,2, & 4 all steer when I noticed that neither of the warning beacons on the cab have shafts running down from them, that could be used to steer.

What I meant to say was, did the set have any missing pieces? (20 years ago, 5-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)
