Well, if you are going to do it, you might as well do it LARGE! I would
imagine even the full scale units have certain radii curves they can't
negotiate. This is just another one of those reasons we need different
radii curves from TLC!!!
The 12 axle just didn't look impressive to me, and I knew the 36 axle (load
limit 1,779,250 lbs) would look rediculously TOO large. Maybe I'll do the
next one in a "can actually negotiate Lego curves" 12 or 14 axle...
Thanks for the Lar seal of approval! ;P
