It is very simple.  The two body parts are simply hinged together by
using axles.  In the centre, there is an opening in which an universal
joint resides, transfering the power from the motor to the front
axle.  The steering is done by using a horizontal gear cog.


I mimicked this setup in a much smaller vehicle you can see here:

I do like that 'swivel hips' idea with the turntable, it would save me alot of unneccesary bother! I couldn't find a scan of the 8459 central steering design, so if someone could describe it in a little more detail I'd be very grateful Cheers Robin (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.technic)
