DLuders Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) On his Flickr photoset, TechnicNick posted 8 pictures of his "Massive Lego Lorry -- The whole combo is 24 studs wide, well over 100 long (I haven't counted them but it's over a metre in total)." It has lots of lights and "ancient (and fairly dim) 4.5V [light] jobs powered by a battery box behind the driver." The drivers are "Two happy British Maxifigs and their big red lorry. Not modelled on a any particular truck; I just did my own thing with this." "Cab tilts to reveal inline six cylinder engine, driven through a forward/reverse transmission by the rearmost axle. There's working steering, controllable from the cab or the taller of the exhaust stacks and the centre wheels can be raised or lowered, either from the inside the cab or the wheel behind it. That spindly looking axle IS supporting the cab's considerable weight (just!)" "The trailer chassis is less massively built than the tractor chassis - with the box on, it's frame is in tension, placing this in compression and the whole is very sturdy. Wheels are mounted on a rigid caisson, pivoted across it's centre and can take the weight. There's also a hand control to lower the stabiliser arms - again these can take the weight." "The box is built around a frame of Technic studded beams (lots of them...) and locates on the trailer on six axles acting as pegs." "The back doors latch closed at top and bottom with a twist of the handle." Edited November 10, 2011 by DLuders Quote
