BONK! (Intended to be sound of jaw dropping on desk...)
What keeps surprising me is how much functionality you manage to squeeze
into so little space... Anyone else attempting all these functions would end
up with a model twice this size...
About the axles in the steering and the middle axle drive train that act
both for driving and pivoting: why didn't you use those 16 tooth
gearbox-gears? They will always spin freely, no matter how much friction
there is on the pivoting of the axle. I guess in the steering it might be
lack of space, but in the drive train it would have been possible?
If the crane survives the trip to Brickfest, is there any chance of seeing
it in action in Holland somewhere?

P.S. Sorry I never answered your mail, having 5 kittens and a 3-month old
baby around the house while arranging a surprise party for your better
half's 30th is quite time-consuming...

I've completed the web page for my model of a Demag AC50-1 all terrain • crane
and put it online here:

   http://www.telepresence.strath.ac.uk/jen/lego/

The model is entirely radio controlled and features some new gadgets from
John Barnes. DAT files of the workings are there as well as some videos,
definitely better than the previous ones as I had expert assistance in the
filming this time! I'll be taking the model along to Brickfest so if it
survives hand luggage, you are welcome to put it through its paces.
