 | | Miniland scale Tiller fire truck
|
|
This is a 1/20th scale (miniland scale) 1968 American la France open air “Tiller” aerial fire truck. A couple of the details have been altered since Lego does not always match the real world. www.brickshelf.com/c...i?f=123356 The truck is steered (...)

(...) In my experience, there are several criteria regarding good vs. bad traction with these tracks. If you have a creation that needs to use the tracks to operate separately to steer, the friction sideways must also be addressed. There needs to be (...) (20 years ago, 29-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic)

I still use Fischertechnik parts occasionally. In terms of there robotics (this will get me shot too...) and pneumatics stuff - they are far in advance of Lego - but for actually gearing and wheels Lego Technic does still come tops for me. Having (...) (20 years ago, 28-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic)

Yes - I can confirm these- I have these parts. Annoyingly - they are not in the LDraw parts cat yet. I have been working on a 32090 dat though - as that frame comes in very handy. The tracks also come with a set of spools: (URL) tracks dont work as (...) (20 years ago, 28-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic)

For those who think the GBC videos are wonderful, I can now state from experience they are nothing compared to actually being there! Steve has already posted some (...)

|

Here's a new train MOC, a prototype Class 14 diesel loco. (URL) It uses BBB wheels and is articulated to get round the curves. It uses 2 technic gearmotors for power, so it has an electric feed from an adjacent vehicle with a train motor (not yet (...)

Hi there, this is the first post on Lugnet, so I hope things work. I built an 1/15th or so scale 8 x 8 Radio Controled Airport Rescue Fire Fighting truck (ARFF) which some of you may have seen posted on Brickshelf. It is BIG and Very Heavy, but it (...)

(...) One reason that the boxes are too big is that technic parts overall have gotten smaller, which means that more pieces fit in a smaller area. The actual amount of pieces in each set has increased since almost all technic sets are studless. I (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.dear-lego)

Keith, I know. I buy 90% of my parts from all over the world.
