Great little build! The looks for this scale is incredible :-)

There is also this connector in white (for roof)

Changed those connectors. Tow truck is now missing something :)

Between snowing and raining in my photo studio, took better pics.

As mentioned before, that steering wheel inside cabin also is working.

In fact, whole build is based around one 15L beam.

That's quite mind-boggling.

It is very nice li'l fella. A bit to small for what I'm building but it has optimal functionalities for that size, even 1:20 official hasn't much more ...

This is what I hoped the official mini Xerion would look like. Very cool.

Okay, at first I was like "what's up with not having the PTO here", but after I've seen the steering - wow, this approach to switching steering modes is amazing in its simplicity. Great job.

Great work! :-)

[Jurss]

Thank You all!

Well done indeed. If I understand correctly the steering system is similar to the one the big brother uses, just smaller?

It uses gears.

It uses gears, last iteration is this, where between both 28t gears is 12t gear (one stud on side), and then with those upper 2 12t gears it is reversed for correct HOG steering.

Created digital files. Engine is littlebit different, than in real model.

IO file https://bricksafe.com/files/Jurss/classxerion_small/xerion_small.io but with baloon tires, as stud.io doesn't has small tractor tires

LDD file https://bricksafe.com/files/Jurss/classxerion_small/xerion_small.lxf 

for lxf parts pack from [KEY TOPIC] LDD New Parts - LEGO Digital Designer and other digital tools - Eurobricks Forums could be needed

Fantastic! It looks so cutie, as it ever possible for Technic model - small, simple enought but nice detailed exterior. And incredibly complicate "real-Technic" interior, however made of not so many parts. I love such models, they fully deserve to be official sets once.

Thank You! 

For official set it should be redone with some simple steering, I'm afraid. As this far from perfect, mostly because of play in all gears. Yes, it works, and if there wouldn't be so big play and flex in all used parts, it would work perfectly. But with all that play, when in both axles steering mode, it is possible to easy turn rear wheels in paralel mode. But anyway, this setup seems the only one possible for this scale.

And best thing is, that I like this thing despite of all that imperfections. :)
