| Hey nice chasis, I like the underside shot where you can see all the steered wheels. Hmmm, what are your thoughts on the strength of the center of the chasis? Looks like some more latice work will come in to play when you keep building to keep it (...) (19 years ago, 20-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic)

| This model incorporates geared steering (I don't need to tell you how difficult it is to turn the darn thing! If you are to build something as complex and big as this, DO NOT go for geared steering. (19 years ago, 20-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic)

| (...) Earlier today I started on the driver's cab (again using the cab of the set 8421 as a base, I was able to modify it, ie give it doors that open and close). It didn't take too much time, but what was a real problem was the pins. After pushing (...) (19 years ago, 20-Aug-05, to lugnet.technic)
