| I like the general feel of this MOC, I think you have got most of the prototye details right. I like your truck design, I hope it works out in the ABS. I don't know if it would be possible but I think the oval cab door window could do with being a (...) (19 years ago, 11-Sep-05, to lugnet.trains)

| Thats a great model on two levels. It looks great and has SO many innovative design solutions.
