I do like that 'swivel hips' idea with the turntable, it would save me alot of unneccesary bother! I couldn't find a scan of the 8459 central steering design, so if someone could describe it in a little more detail I'd be very grateful Cheers Robin (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Yeah, the main problem is the switches - if TLC would make a nice sliding pnuematic switch (similar to steam engine valve), pnuematic steering (and lots of other neat stuff) would become much easier. ROSCO (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)
