Interesting article on PriNXT here, good read. Might have a stab at something myself, I can see it potentially being possible with more than just printing monochrome images. A recreation might still be a fun exercise.

Glad to have been able to help! I'm going to see if I can get hold of one of my schools 9751s and test it out at home with this, I'll let you know if I'm successful, intrigued as to how useful it is seeing it has 8 inputs and outputs

Agreed, it is a lot of fun. I really enjoyed 8053, I think one of the best sets I've bought. First mobile crane I had and enjoyed building it, and the B-Model was a good build too, I think has a lot of potential in it to be taken further if one decided they wanted to. I messed around with it when I had it built, but ultimately ended up in the parts bin like every other set

The Internet hides many secrets, take a look

Really, it isn't too bad value for money, it's PPP is 5.7p (8.4c) which is better than other models like 8258, which like this one, only had one motor and BB (and switch). I've found it fun to play with, and am currently toying with how to modify it, as said, a slot of empty space can be made with room for more functions, like RC mods. I think it was a good buy.

Really interesting model! Haven't seen one of those before and it looks immaculate! Very well done! Also, is that based on 8043's tracks? Looks similar Will be looking forward to the truck and trailer, if this is anything to go by! :thumbup:

Well I for one will be going for this before the front loader, it doesn't really interest me that much, don't need much more PF stuff and so much yellow. I like this one for the red and I'm more of a cars/trucks person rather than constructions, although cranes fascinate me. Each to their own I guess.

Perhaps it lifts the flatbed?

No idea if this has been said before or is new, but for those in the US, technic.lego.com shows the 1H sets "coming in August 2014"

I stand corrected, didn't know 3x11 panel like that even existed until now 9 then

Hem Hem (scuse bad photo edit)

No 4WD if I read correctly earlier, and I'll agree it isn't the prettiest thing, but in my mind, it's not too bad. But a great parts pack, it's what, 11 5x11 panels in red? That's how many I can see at least.

Just noticed: That badly photoshopped remote Hope it really doesn't look like that

Looks like BASIC. What the BBC Micros used. Hrm. Given enough tinkering and playing around, you'll probably be able to get it to work eventually. I know you can get a BASIC emulator for PCs, don't know whether that might help in getting it to work. Goodness knows if it could work with something connected externally, like a VM does. Talking about VMs, if you get it connected to a computer, maybe you could run some ancient OS on a VM to work with it. Could work? Oh and don't worry, you aren't the only young one

Oh the interface wants you to dismantle your desktop and connect it to the motherboard, then plug in the external device to that. Then you can program it from your computer. Seems an interesting setup, although goodness knows whether it would still work. I agree on the temperature sensor, fun item, but little uses Making a printer from it sounds like a good idea if you get it working! Maybe the school, could help you in terms of getting the interfaces fitted to a computer for you to use?

See Unimog Box: Same area of the box, similar shape. Good call, I believe you're right on that one. Can't see what else it would be, and indeed, wrong size/shape for 2in1 logo. Plus that would usually be with an image of the alternative? Power Function wise, that is a lot bigger logo, see the top right of Unimog box. Can't see it being that really...

Now I am interested in this set. A Model is alright, B Model looks great, although it is missing a third axle. But we can't have everything. Happy enough to see TWO licensed models in one set!

Holy Wow. I thought I hit the jackpot when my old school gave their old stuff to me but wow. This makes me jealous. A lot of 4.5V stuff there, and MISB! :wub: What I would do to get my hands on some of that. Out of what you have there, I have I think 2 9751s, minus the temperature sensors, which is a little sad, but hey, can't complain! Manual wise, I don't think there is anything wrong with posting it, unless someone corrects me. Also, BBC Micro Computer is one of these: Mid 80s Computer there, and very very basic compared to what we have now. My guess is some of what you had was produced late 80s-ish and they released the interfaces so you could hook it up to one of these and program them. That's my guess. Therefore the interfaces I guess would be pretty useless without one of these computers. (You can pick them up on eBay, varying prices (at least in the UK)).

Hem heh: Your website here begs to differ Blakbird:

This link might be of some use to you: HERE My school has several of these, been trying to persuade them to let me at them, they never get used Just sit in a tub in the corner of the room with a load of RCX and NXTs. If you do manage to get them working do let me know

Sorry, don't know if that was very clear or not (or I am getting the wrong end of the stick as to what you mean), referring to the "steps" in LDraw, so LPub can generate the instructions, was wondering whether anyone would be wanting a pdf version of instructions from LPub rather than following LDDs frankly, rubbish instructions.

Eep, sorry for the double post but sat down for a bit to do some MLCad. Didn't convert directly from LDD as wanted the better practise of knowing where parts are and doing things manually. Half hoursish work: Before I continue too much further, would anyone want this in a stepped format for instructions? Might have a stab at making those if there's any interest and Efferman doesn't mind?

Oooh. Might take you up on that one. Wanted some LDraw practise. Seems like the perfect thing, lovely model!

Wow, that is one awesome alternative! Will hopefuly pick up a copy of those instructions when I hopefully get a copy of 42000 later this year :D Can't wait!

Indeed it does. Bricklink is very useful for finding out this information too, it can tell you all the possible assemblies of wheels and tires. For example this combo: HERE
