I'm glad this little model is generating so much excitement! ;-) (...) Interesting to hear I'm not the only one to experience these issues with turntables! (In a second-hand technic set I once bought, someone had inserted ball bearings inside the (...) (15 years ago, 30-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I finished mine just now (made a video but can't find the cable to connect my PDA to the computer) and a ran into similar issues. I lubed my turntables after reading your comment Philo, and it improved things slightly, but I also found that (...) (15 years ago, 29-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Philo beat me to it, but I was also going to suggest you include unofficial parts to make sure everyone can see the file as it was intended. I'll take advantage of this occasion to fervently hope the hailfire wheel will be on the parts tracker (...) (15 years ago, 28-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic)

An excellent adaptation of a fantastic idea! Thanks for sharing - especially the mpd. BTW, it would be a good idea to include unofficial parts in the mpd. You can do that using MPDwizard ((URL) This way your mpd will remain readable even if (...) (15 years ago, 28-Dec-09, to lugnet.technic)
