(...) Thanks for writing Fredrik - you are correct, the wheel hubs and tyres are from the Millenium Slizer. The first copy was a present, and because of the wheels I bought another two for a great price in a sale. I wish I'd bought more :-) Jennifer (...) (25 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

Not a lot more to add to the comments that are here already, all of which I agree with! It makes me want to go out and get a load of motors (I only have a couple) and start building some models with 'lives' of their own :-) Hope the thesis is coming (...)

(...) I have only one problem here, which one should I vote for as model of the year? Probably the loader, since I'm a huge fan of the wimsy little Bobcat:) You need a metal hook for the crane? Didn't you have a 8462 stashed away for reward? You (...) (25 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.technic)

Jennifer, They are amazing. Jut reminds me the good old days of technic, when most of the models were both functioning and beautifully looking. By the way, honey, I've never seen a woman before making crane mechanics her hobby. I just amazed..:-) (...) (25 years ago, 2-Aug-00, to lugnet.technic)
