I have to admit most Tillers I've seen have the over hanging back like that.
But I did at one time have a piture of a Tiller, from Seattle I think, that
did NOT have an overhang, the back was straight. That is the tiller I
copied when I built mine (which is in a box at home waiting for me to get
back & detail it).

But I have to admit I do like your tiller, it looks good! I may have to do
a little choping on the back of mine also, i think it might look better with
an overhang.
Its good to see more & more 6 wide fire engines, to draw ideas from...

| Jonathan, You are totally correct - the tiller driver cab should be a few studs further back, by 3 or 4 studs, like yours. Unfortunately, right now the truck just barely fits inside the station I built. In real life the truck is almost as long as (...) (22 years ago, 21-Apr-03, to lugnet.town)
