d4kEeFu.jpgb1FcEoc.jpg8kXoROK.jpgI just picked up the set yesterday and boy is it fun to put together. A lot of great details. I have already started putting my own touches on it. I lengthened the trailer so that I could put a small forklift on it. I’ve attached pictures. The lift mechanism has no problems at all lifting, however there is a lot of deflection in the arms.

The Mack anthem is nice, but am I the only one that is excited by the b model more?. Any more info about the b model garbage truck?.

No, you're not the only one. I'm very curious for the b model instructions.

Yes, I am also very curious to the B model, which I think I like better as well. (But that's mostly because I just find trailer-trucks very uninteresting.)

yes, the slope thing was my fault.

The trailer is surprisingly solid and mostly build with panels as a backbone. Only the part above the Kingpin is a bit to wobbly at this time.

@Driyac Unfortunately i doesnt understand your question, but the gearing works fine. A motor would be nice, but it is not neccessary

This links to an issue that was seen with black panels recently.  At least it confirms that there is a mould variation that is causing the difference in appearance.

I think I saw this on more panels than just black (and DBG). Isn't this happening for a few years already?

Totally agree on the remote thing. These two functions need to be controlled simultaneously.

Or make another gearbox with two levers that switch directions for both functions: left one for the main liftarm (big LAs), and the right for smaller arm (small LAs).

That could well be the case. I just know that it has been discussed in a recent thread.

Rebuild in LDD as base for modifications. Actual standing is page 98 and the end of step 2

http://www.doktor-brick.de/index.php/Attachment/33652-42078-Mack-Anthem-page-98-lxf/

Hi efferman,

many thanks for publishing the LDD-file of the Mack! Will there be a file of the complete tractor unit? It would be a great add-on for the file of my luffing crane.

Luckily my trailer does fit to the fifth wheel :sweet:

Regards

Leonard Goldstein
