For those who are curious (that'll be most of you who haven't yet got one
then!), I have posted photos of the new parts at:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=6522
There are enough specialised parts included to make it into 4WS, that I'm
sure of - you'd just need to add an extra rack and connect into the existing
mechanism.
The 3 friction pegs also connect to 8448 wheels (shown in the photos)
although they have about 3-4mm of lateral play, and they also connect snugly
to the wheels that come with 8445/8446 etc. although these wheels are
probably too small for most vehicles that would use this functionality, if
you see what I mean. (The complete mechanism is at it's minimum possible
width in 8466, unless you remove the differential...)
Chris.

| <snip!> Extra information - The parts come as in the shot "closeup1" - i.e. the black and yellow pieces are already assembled together, and it looks as though it might be tricky to get them apart at all without damage. Chris. (23 years ago, 26-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic)

I played around a bit with this on the 8880, and here's some ideas: (URL) would really like to see the specialized parts from 8466 in a service pack too! I doubt that we will see (...)
