[MOC] 42112 Silos transport

[blaz62]

I present to you mine new alternate model for 42112 Concrete Mixer Truck set->silo transport truck. The creation consists of a trailer truck and a silo. Silos can be loaded onto the trailer via the mechanism. "Concrete" bricks can be load in silos and unload with silo door. Truck have the same fifth wheel as Mack Anthem (42078) set. So you can attach trailer from that set and also other trailer in that scale.

 

Functions:
-HOG-Steering,

-workable 4-cylinder inline engine, 
-adjusting the angle of the rearview mirrors,
-locking mechanism of fifth wheel, 
-trailer landing legs, 
-stabilization legs for unloading, 
-silo decomposition mechanism,
-silo door can be opening and closing.

This could be at least B model. Very cool a d original creation. 

[JintaiZ]

Great idea and perfect execution!!

[Rudivdk]

This is really well done! Nice use of the available colors and parts, and an overall convincing appearance. Bonus points for Mack-compatibility

[Oliver 79]

This is really nice. It's good to see a new use for the cement drum parts.

Me upon seeing:

 

Replace "we" with "TLG"

That is just awesome. Congratulations on a great build.

Great Idea!!!  I really like it and it would be the best B model due to a silo concept.  You get a High 5!!!

Thanks to all.

My first question is been what can i make from new part? I had few diffrent ideas but in the end this was the best. Also parts list wasn't the best. Set have so manj diffrent colures and that was also little challenge to put this in right places.

Great B model! 

[Anio]

Nice idea, nice design.

[LEGO Train 12 Volts]

Very original idea, great work!

[trekman]

Nice idea.  It was a shame that the set did not have any Linear Actuators, as that lifting mechanism for the Silo is just begging for an actuator and winder.

I tried to make some system (with gears) to lift, but silo is to heavy. Large LA will be great for this.

You make my day
