  Town/Technic MOC
 
Nearly a year ago, our group, NALUG, was asked to do some displays and bus kits for the local transit system. I ended up doing two kits and one larger model.

  Re: Radial Compressor
 
It looks like BS is back online so now is as good a time as any to show you the pictures of the 8-pump compressor I built amplifying the 4-pump version. I wanted to keep the compressor as small as possible so I started by changing the end parts to (...) (15 years ago, 13-Jul-09, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

  Re: 8263 Snow Groomer Review
 
(...) Ooops yeah that's what I meant! (...) The early meccano sets would sometimes even have mistakes in the manual just to make it more of a challenge.

(...) The juniorization (or simplification to a level of near brain dead builders) of the building instructions is a whole new area for discussion and one that can certainly generate a lot of comments in both directions. Some would say it may have (...) (15 years ago, 11-Jul-09, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Hears the thing. We cut down trees to make paper. Before that might have been a bad thing. BUT things are much more regulated now. Trees are now grown in treefarms specifically to be cut down.

  Re: 8263 Snow Groomer Review
 
(...) The environment argument gets even thinner when you consider the fact that set 8259 (Mini Bulldozer) has 3 instruction booklets - 2 for the main model, and one for the alternate model. Considering that this is only about 65 pages worth of (...) (15 years ago, 10-Jul-09, to lugnet.technic)
