Wish I'd known about this before :( Does de Bouwsteen still organise club days every 3-4 months?

That is unfortunately one of the few larger sets of recent years that I don't have yet :) - Sok.

Some people just want to have them hardcopy for various reasons. I've already sold quite a few of them, and some of them fetch a nice price, and who am I to question their motivation? - Sok.

I'm selling the following building instructions, all in good to very good condition, most only used once. I've decided to stick to digital instructions in the future :) 8049 8386 8445 8868 8843 + box in vg condition 8052 8421 8043 + box in vg condition + original sticker sheet untouched 8462 + box (2x) 8258 8292 8264 8263 8054 + box in okayish condition (2x) 8860 Asking price: 5e for small models, 7.5ish for medium and 10 - 15 for large models. Rare/old/with box prices on request, bulk discounts apply. I will add more next weekend. - Sok.

Make the spacing between the rear wheels equal to that of the motor for better looks :)

That looks pretty good, althought the front end seems a bit long in comparison to the rest of the loc. I wouldn't mind it being slow as long as it is strong enough :) - Sok.

Any pics of the internal workings?

Wow, they actually ship you something? That's 100% better than I expected!

Where can I buy those?

For heavy duty applications I would refrain from using the old 8 tooth gears in the drive train, they are extremely fragile. - Sok.

I've purchased a few more sets but I'm only interested in the acual parts, so I've put the boxes and instructions up for sale! - Sok.

I really need to take a weekend or two off somewhere in november to build something cool :)

Lol no, but the 'y' on my keyboard is sorta broken. I need to press it really hard.

It could take a few months but chances are good that paypal will refund your money. *edit: now with additional Y

A 8053 mobile crane with PF m motor and batterybox for 60 bucks incl shipping :)

You fell for it? Oh dear.

I reported those hours ago, no action taken yet.

I always select 'auctions only', all the people treating ebay as a generic shop with their insane 'buy it now' prices can go suck a big one ^^

I'm looking for 3 or 4 PF to 9v extension wires, they are 3 dollars on the US lego site, but 4 euro's on the european site and they also charge 5 bucks for shippinjg, so if anyone has them cheaper please let me know! - Sok.

Ooh I hope I have time to build a nice trackside structure like a crane using ye olde LEGO style but powered by PF :D

Hm that looks nice actually. With 8x AA rechargeable cells of 1.2 you'll get 9.6 volt and awhole lot of capacity :D - Sok.

Can I submit this? :D

1up :D

The LA's themselves are nifty little things - I got me a 8069 backhoe with 4 of them in it for just 45 bucks so I might even buy another at that price to get 4 more :) - Sok.

That is awesome, and in fact I'm going to steal that design and build it with mini-LA's :D
