MOC: Tanker 6/8wide

[Selander]

I wanted to build a tanker waggon similar to the compact and smooth looking Märklin (Ho) tankers I had as a kid.

So, I minimized the gap between cylinder halves and made a two axle design.

A sandwich construction with a couple of 4081b between two technic bricks holds cylinders in place.

See pictures below.

Comments are welcome.

Looks nice, how stable are they with just the two mounting points?

[emilstorm]

The connection in the middle is quite clever, including the mounting tto the carriage. I like how you utilized all of the studs on top and holes in the technic brick, the danger sign is brilliant

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Fantastic wagon and clever building technique!

Is it expensive to build?

[zephyr1934]

Those are very slick, nice build.

[Man with a hat]

Very nice and clever

It looks perfect.

[Jorrith]

That's a very clever design.... I love it!
