Thanks Nathan, thanks Ross. I'm really glad you like my skip loader!
The idea for this kind of steering has been with me for ever and I'm fairly sure
it's a distant memory of the real thing, but I have absolutely no idea if it was
used in any of the existing skip loaders. The closest thing I found in Lego
world is 8446 Monster Crane. I'm not really an expert in trucks; usually I build
them to check if my ideas would work, not to precisely re-create real life
solutions, and should rather call them toys, not models. But as a toy, my skip
loader works fine :)
Thank you again,
Maciej
