Marvin G.'s Lego Technic Articulated Bus

[DLuders]

On MOCpages, Marvin G./ jamesbond0096 posted a Lego Technic articulated bus: "It's about 1 metre long. With pneumatic doors and pnaumatic lowerable floor. driven by two 9V motors at the rear and one motor for steering. Electric indicator and rearlights. The bellows are made with paper. Weight: about 3 kilos. Music: Sugarplum Fairy - Busstop." Although the bus is tethered, it may be possible to hide Power Functions elements inside for full remote-control.

"Functions: Driving by two motors, Steering by one motor, Pneumatic doors, Pneumatic lowerable floor, Suspension. All functions remote controlled. The bellows were made with paper."

Wow!!! Nice bus. I particularly liked the tilting feature. That is definitely unique. From the outside it looks like a normal looking bus with no functions other than the articulating joint in the center but through the video it comes to life!!!

As I did imagine, super bus expert ItLUG member Luca Giannitti aka Lucajuventino has resized the importance of this MOC :
