I've just been studying this picture showing the parts
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=289942
and it looks like Lego have produced a useful set for once. Unlike Tobbe I
tend not to buy new sets, the last two we're copies of the blue pnumatic
breakdown lorry. Call me a cynic but this surprises me. Apart from the new
technic I think their recent output has been appalling, I've never even
bothered to study it closely but the 8353 looks like a small expansion set
when all laid out bringing back memories of the good old days.
Studless beams that are actually straight! Grey 3 long pegs, just what I
need for a current project and the already mentioned 7L axle. Where has this
flash of genius come from? maybe someone at Lego has been reading this forum?
I've been running low on 3L friction pins and this set has plenty. You get
the mandatory useless body panels and I'm not totally convinced by the price
but this is one set I'll look out for, especially on sale.

| (...) Yup. I think this is the first instance of an 'official' 7 axle. I inventoried the set for Peeron, and posted pics of the set and parts on Brickshelf: (2 URLs) little buggy, and great selection of parts for the price ($20 or 30 CAD). John (22 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.technic)
