    Re: News from Switzerland - Major Site Update —Dennis Bosman
   Beat, My first reaction: WOW!! This really is a masterpiece and it is …. HUGE! I just saw the images of the complete model, but now I’m scrolling through the rest of it. And while I type this sentence I haven’t seen all jet. But I ask you some (...) (21 years ago, 20-Aug-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.build, FTX)
   
        Re: News from Switzerland - Major Site Update —Beat Felber
     (...) No, the motor shown here drives the steering mechanism. The drive motors are mounted on the bottom side of the main frame of the lower structure. There's a motor for each crawler pair. Have a look at these two pictures: (2 URLs) The drive (...) (21 years ago, 20-Aug-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.build, FTX)
    
         Re: News from Switzerland - Major Site Update —Dennis Bosman
      (...) What?!?!?! Your kidding, right? (...) I know the problem. The size of your model is really shown on the picture with you behind it. It's unbelievable how many kilos of LEGO bricks you put into it. It takes a lot of time to bring everything (...)

          Re: News from Switzerland - Major Site Update —Beat Felber
      (...) Sounds like sort of a hall of fame of the most interesting LEGO creations from the machinery and trucks sector. (...) OK, I'm sure I'll read it. (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.build, FTX)
    
         Re: News from Switzerland - Major Site Update —Todd A. Schroeder
     How could you destroy a work of art like this Beat? It's like restoring a 1969 RS Camaro and then stripping it down to restore a 1969 Z-28 Camaro. I'm sure the Lego parts must have cost a small fortune to build such a huge sculpture. I really wish (...) (21 years ago, 27-Aug-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.build, FTX)
    
         Re: News from Switzerland - Major Site Update —Dennis Bosman
     (...) Well Todd, That cost a lot of money. Anyway, I still have five models in tact and I can build a 6th one if I want. Beat used thousand of pieces so if he has to build something new, he has to break off the machinery unfortunately.

         Re: News from Switzerland - Major Site Update —Todd A. Schroeder
     (...) Yes, I know how that is. I've got 5 projects started with more planned. I haven't completed any of them due to lack of money and time. However, once I complete my creations I will never destroy them. I may modify them to improve upon them but (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.build, FTX)
   
        Re: News from Switzerland - Major Site Update —Ross Crawford
     (...) Yes, indeed they are LEGO Dennis - old samsonite gears, you can see them (URL) here>, I think the ones Beat used are 741 and 744. ROSCO (21 years ago, 20-Aug-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.build, FTX)
    
         Re: News from Switzerland - Major Site Update —Dennis Bosman
     And can they be used together with the old 2 studs links? Dennis (...) (21 years ago, 21-Aug-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.build, FTX)
    
         Re: News from Switzerland - Major Site Update —Beat Felber
     (...) No, unfortunately not. The tooth spacing on those Samsonite gears is different from the European red, blue and yellow ones. But what made them so interesting for me is the fact that they have studs on top. So I was able to connect the hoist (...)

         Re: News from Switzerland - Major Site Update —Dennis Bosman
     (...) That's a big shame. Namely, I've plans to build a scale 1:13 Sennebogen 5500HDSL (Mammoet) and therefore I've some ideas for different crawler tracks. I ordered lots of those old links. Even when I still didn't knew which shaves I will use at (...) (21 years ago, 22-Aug-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.build, FTX)
