[WIP] Side loading trailer, possibly with truck

[BrickbyBrickTechnic]

Hey everyone! I had to clear up the workshop before starting my TC12 entry, and coincidentally the cloaked image for the MACK truck for 1h 2018 was released. And, it has a side loading trailer.

I decided to build one in order to test such a concept before the set came out. I'm using only pieces from 42043. Here's what I have so far; a big mean gearbox.

Functions it will have (so far):

-Outriggers stage 1 (PF)

-Outriggers stage 2 (PF)

-Raised axle (PF)

-Raising side cranes stage 1 (Pneumatic)

-Stand (Pneumatic)

-Crane stage 2: Manual due to limited cylinders in set.

So That's all for now! Leave a comment!

Well Arocs has enough parts to build it, so I'll follow this project from a distant...so far it looks promising. just one comment - try not to overuse parts; as I already mentioned on different topic, parts easily got broken or loose and that I why some of my projects are on hold because I miss specific parts in specific colors...

Thnks for following, and for the suggestion :) I'll try to keep that in mind.

You can always learn something from older people - even from their mistakes you learn how not to do things 

Off course when you can not afford yourself to have dozen of big sets you do what you can
