I think it would be a good idea to make a motor grader: 1) Pneumatic blade control 2) 4 or all wheels drive 3) powerfull engine 4) (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)

Cool! That's an impressive machine! I was actually thinking about using 2x2 8t gears, but I don't have the room in my model (And I've run out of racks too).

This looks very nice. I have never given much thought to trying to make my Lego Grandfather Clock (www.ericharshbaregr...lock.html) 'chimable', but it's nice to see that it can be done. Good gear ratio. My clock does not run as consistently as I (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.technic)
