idea for fire ladder trucks

[jonwil]

I was playing around with some bley parts and came up with an idea for the ladder on a ladder truck.

Take a http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=4207 ladder (one or more pieces joined together depending on the length of the ladder you want)

Then stick it on to a http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=42608 wheels holder.

Stick the pins of the wheels holder into the top holes of a pair of http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32530

Stick the technic bits onto the back of your truck

That may be the only decent use of the wheel holder part that I've seen so far. Ladder trucks are a bit of an issue on minifig scale if you ask me. What is typically lacking from the ladders is a decent railing.
