Markku's Diamond Wheel Trailers in LDD!

[BrickWild]

Here's another one of Markku's designs, mini-scale ancillary trailers for the Diamond Wheel!

These trailers hold the carrages, ticket booth, footers, lighting and a few other components!

And here are the trailers shown empty:

It would help if you could please give us some background to who Markku and the Diamond Wheel is. I'm guessing its some kind of circus MOC. Right?

Markku Jääskeläinen is a diesel mechanic from town of Espoo, Finland. He started to build his models in 1981, when he was 14 years old.

All his rides can be packed into trailers in minutes (for example The Giant Wheel 8 min, Megaspin 5 min, Waltzer 15 min, Spiderman 30 sec, Mixer 10 sec) All the rides work like the real ones. Many of them have 9V electric motors, pneumatic system and blinking lights (for exmple in Sombrero there are 32 blinking leds, 5 small motors, 1 big motor and 6 pneumatic sylinders).

The compressed air is made in a lorry where there is a 9V motor, an air tank and a system that stops the motor when the pressure is high enough and starts it again when the pressure gets lower.

The mobile homes are models of the real ones where showmen in Finland and Sweden live.

Everything is made out of ordinary lego bricks, although some of them are modified, cut or drilled. Some electronics are hidden inside the trailers.

The scale is 1/40 (1 stud = 1 ft => 3 studs = 1 meter)

This is a perfect scale for little lego people.

At the moment he has over 400 transportation units (cars, trucks, trailers).
