[Richard Dower]

This set has been on my want list for some time, thanks to Brick Builder for bringing us a fresh look at this set.

I have this set. It is a nice build, but the turning circle is pretty big.

This set just reminded me. Does anyone know how to get parts in bricklink changed? The reason I ask is because I have over 200 of the engine pistons featured in this set. On bricklink this set properly calls the color rust (which is what it is). However THIS set is calling it Red. Again, I have over 200 of these that I've bought in both red and rust and they are both the exact same color (rust).

For that matter the other set is calling the crankshaft piece red too and again they were only made in rust. Oddly the Crankshaft center featured in this set is actually only red.

Sorry, just had to get that off my chest, sick of spending years looking at people guess which color they have when they are both the same.

I've found the set in a Technic parts convolut bought at ebay. There I found it like new, never assembled, still in plastic bags!

Interesting are the blue parts, especially the rigid hoses and the rust/red engine parts.

Request Inventory change. Just fill in relevant details and it should be fine. It will then get accepted or denied. You can also follow up on the forum for further discussion as topic will be created automatically.

i have the parts you mentioned in both Rust and Red colour....they ARE different colours!....i have compared the Red parts i have to other Red parts and they are the same shade. the rust coloured parts are different....they are more akin to Dark Red.
