That front truck is a masterpiece, does it support any of the weight of the loco or is it held on the track purely by its own weight? Tim (16 years ago, 14-Jul-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

Very nice crane, I really like the way the cargo is moved from train to train. This is a great combionation of two of my favorite Lego themes...trains and Mindstorms. Do you happen to have building instructions for this creation? Brian (16 years ago, 12-Jul-08, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
