 | | Large Technic Tracks?
|
|
I have seen these very large tracks on several models. I am wondering if they are still available, and if so, where? Example of these tracks is at: (URL) Meyer (20 years ago, 20-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic)

My first foray into Space (URL) all I have to do is locate all the parts to build it. (Well its a train, and uses HiTech control units, and a few Technic parts, so the cross-postings seem vaguely relevant) William (20 years ago, 20-Mar-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

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.

(...) 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)

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)
