If you click on the picture in this link, you'll see a Starwars episode three set that comes with TECHNIC TREAD LINKS!! (URL) contains spoilers so don't look if your trying to avoid that sort of thing. I bought a life times supply of tread links (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

Found this folder on Brickshelf: (URL) I don't usually like to steal other people's thunder, but that is a sweet model. Looks like it's based on a BE1250-W. Anyone know who built it? If you're lurking, please de-lurk now! ROSCO (20 years ago, 10-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Contrary to what some people think I think this model looks good, although I have no idea if it looks like an Enzo or not. For me the decision whether to buy it or not will depend only on the functions it has. It looks too much like <set:8448> (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Thanks for the input but I have already tried Ebay and Bricklink; with very little positive results. About the $55.00, I meant to type $70.00 I don't know why I didn't catch that when I previewed the post. As for the set 8445, I did recheck (...) (20 years ago, 8-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hi Vineet, There are no hoses in the retract holes of either piston. It seems LEGO decided to just use gravity to retract them, if you have used pressure to lower the boom on [LEGOSet 8460] you'll realise this is probably a reasonable thing to (...)

One problem I see with this crane pic is that one of the inlets on the pneumatic pistons doesn't have a tube in it. If someone could explain how this crane arm is supposed to be lifted, I'd really like to hear it. Thanks. (20 years ago, 7-Jan-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
