With some playing around it is pretty easy to get very complex gear
drivetrains worked out. The hardest part is making them compact. You have
to be willing to take things apart and rebuild from scratch a lot.
I just bought and built the 8480 Technic Spaceshuttle. The real joy in
building this was putting the drivetrain together step by step and getting
to see the final result. The 4-way gearbox is very nice, and the layout of
the Shuttle is amazing.
