Hi guys,

What started as a refresher has now developed into a full blown model. I've done an updated 8280 B model (see images on my flickr page which i've just set up). Please let me know what you think. It's taken about 4 weeks on and off. i've added "proper" steering from the steering wheel. A 1 cylinder motor. a rear differential and a foam tank, which lifts for access to the diff (but not shown) it could probably be motorised. Interestingly, the chassis has opened up so many options. I've based it on a land rover fire vehicle. I saw a six wheeled version many moons ago. More models will follow.

@ Horace T: Nice studded update to the venerable 8280 Fire Truck set from 1995:

Hi,

I don't have the set itself (hence the yellow wheels) but i'm please with it. I think a six wheeled version is required.
