When I try to look for part 4267 (the big tyres) in the parts tracker, I get
this:

"Library subdirectory must be included in the filename"

I tried it with another more common part and it worked.

(...) I'm sorry, I missed that one when I audited the inventory. I guess that's the only part in the set not currently authored. I don't have that part otherwise I'd make it for you. Maybe someone else can? -Orion (23 years ago, 14-Jan-04, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.cad)

(...) All the parts for 8868 are available either as official files or on the Parts Tracker: (URL) of the parts for 8862 are not available. As far as modelling the hoses there are 3 resources available: LDraw Design Pad's Bendible Object Generator (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-04, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.cad)
