    well we are just past the land of down under so the logo would feel right at home being upside down.

    Like yourself Robert I do like solving the puzzles, though I really do suck at making instruction's or just do not have the time, however if credit for the MOC is given to the original creator I can't see it being a issue or even a polite Email to ask if its ok, if you where to release instructions. Some people cannot solve the puzzles ( some are just not wired the right way ) and it is always interesting to see other peoples build technics ( excuse the pun )

    Mack 2005 ch600 I had one for a while great truck just very limited cab space, Mr Efferman simply beautiful I don't know how you do it.

    I first look at this post a couple of days ago and was wow, the Mack Anthem looks simply gorgeous, then you post the Titan! For a lego truck nut, pure porn and that landoll trailer is just icing on the cake.

    Rule #1 don't eurobrick after working long hours...

    Thank You for the photo's Mr Efferman, some amazing moc's and a lot of inspirational ideas. The longer wheelbase Scania has the better look to it.

    The best part about hook trucks is the variant of payloads you can carry from flat trays to skip's to custom load out platforms ( we had a twin pull winch with spade legs on one. ) One again Mr Efferman, your a very talented man, and the scale looks great. and well within my budget compared to other trucks out there....

    Totally missed the party but Please I would really like once you have this finished a Scania T Cab please..

    Don't worry the real ones wobble about a lot at full extension.. A brilliant MOC

    I currently have Data Easts Jurassic Park, which if you switch the T Rex side to side movement on makes game play hilarious. it seems if you have a Williams/sterns/bally machine you can ask silly prices for junk, where the Data Easts seem to play poor cousins. However the one thing that I like in todays day and age ( yep the grey hairs are certainly showing ) is the internet and the wealth of information on it and the access to buy parts halfway around the world with a click of a button. I certainly would like to one day do a custom build.

    I have refurbished a couple of machines for friends, I guess its handy to be able to do wood and metal work and also electrical.. I think its the tinker factor for me...

    I wish track changes in the real world were this easy, mind you once its time to change tracks and final drives it more than time to sell the machine.. mind you my two are high hours but low impact use and certainly don't do the amount of track walking.. family photo for ya Grum..

    An interesting thing to note from the designer video is that MK has Nine different versions sitting on the table.

    An amazing build / design. One certainly can learn a lot from this MOC. Some very clever ideas executed very well, ( I'm going to have to steal that front end ) Hopefully you inspire a lot more car's in this scale ...

    But I like Waffle, its the insights and one's perspective that makes the build entertaining... As for electrical Loom's having spent two days having a argument with a Scania 640 engine loom and yes I agree, the little bleeper's have a mind of their own..

    I can offer my sympathy's Grum, Though a decent dose of Man Flu is nothing close to yours.. though when one starts to cough up blood there is usually something a bit more wrong. I hate trucking cattle, and silly me thinking its a bad cold, turns out to be three broken rib's and a collapsed lung... needless to say I hope that steer tastes good one someone's plate.

    A lot of the light weight Japanese trucks have the simple system of a drum brake on the back of the gearbox that simply locks the driveshaft to the axles as a park brake. the only issue with it is a lot of drivers tend to apply it at speed with weight on and given that its a standard drum brake with a sheet metal backing it tends to poop itself.

    Sorry tired tonight, But IMO it is a buildable and playable MOC, I have Kevin Moo's forklift built and the part count for that model is 1768, I would think Effermans would be hard pressed to be more than 800? parts. I suspect that you could build this moc ( minus the PF ) out of a 42076 and 42079 and still have change to buy a Bugatti compared to kevins. As for the tilt ram in the cabin, My Mitsubishi 6.0 tilt ram pivots sit right next to the brake and accelerator pedals and honestly I use it as a foot rest when travelling between yards ( about 3km's ) Model Comments, I would add work lights to the cabin, maybe also a seat and controls detail, ( ok that's uping the parts count ) but Efferman Moc's always have those suttle details.

    I can see your limited in height due to your Chassis, however could you have the 8:24 reduction before the final drive, http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=548971 pipasseyoyo has a very good model using the same principles as you want. After a lot of playing around with a axle I have used you could mod to fit what you want .lxf is on my bricksafe page.

    No worries Kevin, thank you for the answer. Kind regards Matt.
  21. brickless_kiwi
    Bit of a long shot? But I really like your Panjero I know you where not interested in making instructions, But would you have LXF? as I have reversed engineered most of your moc but are stuck on a few parts, Kind regards Matt.

    Its is quite a popular series the speed champion. the model in question is done by peter blackert, who can be only described as a serial car nut in this scale or style. Download LDD Lego digital designer and have a got at reverse engineering the car, there are certainly enough "photos" of it however being a rendering the bricks used for the rear window glass have never come out in that colour.. I think in real life it would be a rather fragile build, after having a quick play in LDD you would have to do a lot of work to get a robust model.

    I would not feel to bad grum I had finished building a engine only to find two bolts left! So I stripped it down and rebuild it again only to have the same two bolts sitting there only to suddenly realise a mate and is two yearold son had stopped by a quick phone call solved the problem

    Kevin Your English is excellent as for the accent, you should do radio work as its clear and precise. A well engineered drive train, certainly on my build list.

    I am glad I am not the only one that liked the Toyota 4Runner / Surf and have been quietly reverse engineering it, though the front axle had me well and truly stumped. So I certainly salute you for being able to reverse engineer it, However I would love to see your .lxf as Im quite stumped how you did the steering
