    Hello

    This will be my first post to showing one of my moc:

    Mercedes Actros 3248 Hooklift.

    mercedes_actros_007k.jpg

    I know a lot of people know this model, from my pictures on Brickshelf.

    I finished building this moc in early 2010, so it is 6 years old. Yes its very late to post here, but i think better late then never.

    The truck ist pf-remote controlled with 4 functions:

    - Drive by one PF-XL Motor to the rear wheels (2-Axle)

    - Steering by one old-style 9V-Motor (2838c01), second axle with transmission 16:20

    - Hooklift powered by one PF-XL Motor

    - Boom look for tipping - loading / unloading controlled by one micro-motor (the eletric-cable can be changed for electric trailers or additional equipment

    There are also some manually fuctiones / features:

    - Two-speed transmission with gear ratio 1 : 1 or 1 : 3

    - PF-lights in front and 9V-flashing lights on the roof working when the battery-box "on"

    - Openable doors by the drivers-cabine

    - Openable doors in backside by all three containers

    Scale from this model is 1 : 17.

    There are some more pictures in my brickshelf-gallery here: http://www.brickshel...?m=swissbagger1

    And also one video on my youtube-channel:

    Feel free for your comments

    Kind regards

    Its printed on the figures.

    Yes this figures are very rare, i have luck i had them in a bulk brick. I think Lego make them only, for a gift for the visitor an this special open day from the lego factory in Switzerland, mabey they never sell this technic-figure. So maybe best possible to found, would this figure in swiss-auction platform. But i never see them somewhere seling.

    I am interested, if somewhere else own this special figure, and from where he/she has it?

    Beautiful work! I like to see it in real!

    Of course also with the Liebherr L580 on it. Has the lowlader some functions? Are the ramps manual? I like the idea with the lights / flags, they can be adjust. Yes often there are 3-axle-trucks (in switzerland also 2-axle) as tractor for lowlader.

    I know it, about so many ideas, and no time to build. I have the same "problem", i want rebuild my MAN-Truck but i dont find the time

    Hallo M-longer

    Nice Truck! Awesome build!

    I would be interesting i you have some more pictures from internal or / and bottom side. Is the chassis build studless?

    I like the combination from technic - functions with model-team style.

    And there is another reason: the same scale to my mocs. I would be great if one day your mocs meet with my ones.....

    Kind regards: swissbagger

    Hallo

    I like also the technic - figures, because this fits very good to my technic - mocs. The figures are a little bit to small in scale, but anyway better then no figures.

    I own some technic - figures, and two very rare one. This one who posted "parda" before, the blue - white ones written on the body "Tag der offenen Tür, 21. Juni 1997, Baar". It means in english translatet "Day open doors, 21. June 1997, Baar". Baar is a little city in Switzerland near Zug, where some years before was a Lego factory. After Lego change the factory in city Willisau, and also later Lego stop production in Switzerland (very bad).

    I dont was in the open day this time, i dont know why, mabey i was in my dark ages (City Baar was only 30 minutes drive by car from my home). I become this two figures in a kg - buy from an online-auction-house.

    In this picture from Steinchenwelt 2011, you see this two rare figures seat in the two trucks MAN + Mercedes.

    I hope also Lego bring back this nice figures.

    Hello

    My Name is Beat, i am 41 years old, and live in the middle of switzerland.

    When i was i child, Lego was my favorite toy. After my dark ages, maybe 2006 i began again to build. My favorites theme is Technic, where i like trucks, construction machinery and anything else. With my nickname (swissbagger1), you will find my brickshelf-gallery, where you can see my mocs and another pictures.

    2010 was born my son, so in last time i spent more time with my family than my hobby . Of cours i wait i can enjoy Lego with my son.

    Kind regards
