I have some long wheelbase wagons (8x32) with four wheels, which turn on the curves. Here's a new pic of how it's done: (URL) This is the wagon the right way up: (URL) On the lower wagon in the underside picture, which goes last in the train, the (...)

Hi, (...) some of the axles existed even before Technic (IIRC 4 6 8 12) for the big colored pre-technic gears. They changed from uncolored to black when technic was introduced, and probably the material was changed as well. Jürgen (20 years ago, 17-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) OK, I am not a Technic expert, but I do know about the European gear sets that were produced starting in 1970 had axle pieces that are compatible with Technic today. The #800, #801 and #802 sets were the first of these. I was surprised to not (...) (20 years ago, 17-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic)

(...) One good source for these tracks is the Tonka toy company. They make several bulldozer models that are fairly good size. I assume they can be ordered overseas. Another good source for tracks are Remote-control toys. Many of them have tracks (...) (20 years ago, 16-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Yes, are these tracks still available, and from where? And, if they are available, are they sold in the U.S., or are they from a different country? I know there are some things that can no longer be purchased in the U.S., like the Scout/SDK (...) (20 years ago, 15-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

The axel you see coming from rear to front section of loader is the main engine drive shaft. One interesting design approach is that I (...) (20 years ago, 15-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

John Fors- I just took a look at it and it's very nice! The idea of putting the valves in front of the steering wheel was pure genius! It gives it a somewhat realistic view. Is the steering pneumatic-driven, like how the real thing is (...) (20 years ago, 15-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
