kyphur Posted February 7, 2013 It's always bothered me that TLG uses the same wheels for Semis and regular cars but then occasionally you'll see vehicles with these very large wheels os I finally decided to rework the semis to use larger wheels and even have dual wheels where appropriate.These designs are based off 7848 - Toys R Us Truck and 60018 - Cement Truck.I have 3 different cabs:1. "Cab-Over", where the driver sits above the engine (the cab tilts forward for engine access.2. Engine Forward Day Cab.3. Engine Forward Sleeper Cab.The first 2 only have a single drive axle sporting Duel wheels but the Sleeper has tandem axles with Duel wheels.I've also started working on converting some trailers. So far I have a Container Trailer that fits 2 Maersk Containers and a basic LowBoy. I do want to make a few more trailers such as a Car Hauler, Tanker and Standard Box Trailer. I'm also thinking of making a rig (HuckePack) for hauling another Semi or two as seen in this pic: Here is the set on Flickr CLICK HERE and some of the pics:Big Rigs - 1 by Kyphur_Trains, on FlickrTrailers - 1 by Kyphur_Trains, on FlickrTrailers - 2 by Kyphur_Trains, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soundwave_sw Posted February 7, 2013 nice retrofit kyphur. The wheel choice for for semi trucks also bugs me in city sets. I would like to see more dual wheels as you have nicely illustrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
