These are BEAUTIFUL. The goofy technic hubs finally have a use
in vehicles that are not mice inside giant robot cats. Lookup
set 8257 and see what I mean.
The flip down sides of the stake truck are a nice touch. I
find it a challenge to build a function into small vehicles. Things like
suspension, motors, tilting cabs, etc are fun to squeeze into smaller
and smaller vehicles.
Allan you are indeed a master of great Town vehicles.
The rest of us should not lament the "juniorization" of the
LEGO town linup, but instead take inspiration for creators like Allan.
Cheers,
