Not at all. I hope it real-brick builds well for you. I haven't near the
pieces in color and quantity to build the body work for this auto carrier.
I've only real-built the platform v1 as seen here:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=15159
There is a .mpd MLCad file here, as well. The shared mono axle between the
two units is close-coupled using two black/white Technic spring bricks. In
the MLCad file the Technic spring bricks are color in orange. Several
orange elements are used to approximate the shape of the spring bricks.
The platform works OK in limited test track runs. But, I haven't rigorously
tested it.
Thanks for checking it out.
I look forward to your 89' design!
later,
James Mathis
