(...) That is true. However, Sean was also right about the steering issue. You want the front wheels to pivot about their centerline, so the steering mechanism must be *inside* the wheel. Go look at your car's front wheels if you don't believe me... (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) If the truck has 'duallies' in back, what is often done is that only one wheel type is used. The wheel is dished so that when two wheels are put back to back, the wheel centers are adjacent (and the plane between the two tyres). Then that's (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Well, I've noticed that most trucks and busses have a slightly different type of hub on their front wheels. I'm not sure why, perhaps it has to do with steering. (Any die-hard truck guys out there know why?) The hub on rear wheels is usually (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) No, not really. They're mostly built to compare with my 4-wide cars. (I have some taxicabs and other city vehicles.) I'm worried that they'll look out-of-scale with my buildings, since the busses are almost a full baseplate long. (I think (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

Hi all, I've had these guys around for quite some time. May I present the Space Marines.

(...) Sean, Those busses look like the real things! I'd like to see you make the new articulated busses the NYC MTA uses that bend in the middle for easy control in traffic. Keep up the good work! Joe (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) I once saw a bus on a train layout that used the windscreen from the flashspeeder as a front window. It looked pretty good. It was attched in a snot method with the two studs upright facing front. (if that makes sense) (...) umm, after seeing (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)

(...) Thanks, glad to hear you liked them. Yeah, I couldn't really find anything I liked for the front window; I think the slope bricks work well on the MCI bus, but not on the GMC. For that, I guess I'd need a windshield that was 3 tall, 6 wide, (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.town)
