  1. I should have expected this question. The trailer originally was the 8285 truck and I just was to lazy to remove the differential :-)
  2. Hi, as promised here are the pictures from underneath. Sorry for the quality, these are only cell phone pics: http://www.upload-pictures.de/bild.php/40385,20130923182224TY0CT.jpg http://www.upload-pictures.de/bild.php/40386,20130923182233EE57N.jpg http://www.upload-pictures.de/bild.php/40387,2013092318224468AH4.jpg @ bricktrain this is an awesome collection. how many 8285 did you need to build all this?
  3. Thanks for all your feedback. @squizz I will take a few pictures from underneath of the trailer, maybe this evening if I have time! In regards to the differential. There is a differential on the second axle. Or do you mean on the 3rd axle? Anyway I have to modify the 2nd and 3rd axle of the truck a bit with the 'modern' differential because the small gears attached currently don't work pretty good.
  4. @ skppo thanks, you are right. I also thought about, but only after I finished it... @ SheepEater Also thanks! I build it from two 8285s and some extra parts left from my 9397 moc.
  5. Hi everybody. I build another MOC in the last days and wanted to share the result with you. Is is nothing special, but I like it. The whole truck is exactly 100 cm long (trailer is 66 cm). The truck is motorized with power functions, it has one XL motor for driving and one M motor for steering. For a better steering I have attached a worm gear. It seems, that I only build log trucks :-) Enjoy the pictures and let me know, what you think...
  6. Just get another 6 silver wheels and some wood and wanted to share the pictures with you :-)
  7. @ twoofive yes please do so :-) And let us have some pictures, when you have finished your trailer!!!
  8. @ Doc_Brown Thanks a lot. That was my intention to keep it as close as possible to the original.
  9. @ twoofive Yes I built the chassis twice and removed all the not needed parts like all the gear wheels. Then I removed the lower part of the front chassis to have space for the rotating axle. @ francisalmario I love your mod with the red soft axles. Looks great :-)
  10. Thanks for all your feedback. I also thought about removing the fuel tanks, but the trailer looks a bit naked without them so I decided to let them on the trailer. Let's imagine, that these are no fuel tanks :-) I also agree that the front axle looks a bit bulky with the double wheel setup, but also in real life a lot of trailers have the double wheel setup on all axles. And of course I like double wheels, thats why the trailer has it :-) @750ACE Yes, also my 9397 is bending a bit in the center.
  11. Hey everybody. I am new to this forum respectively this is my 1st post after a while of only reading. As my favourite set is the 9397 logging truck I did a few modification and I built a trailer for it. As you can see on the pictures I modified the logging truck with double wheels and also did some enhancements on the crane. With this mods the crane has a better playability and can be almost fully positioned behind the cabin. For that I replaced the small actuator with a big one. Also I did some mods only for cosmetic reasons, e.g. I replaced the original grey wheel rims on the truck with silver wheel rims (out of the 8285 set). After that was done I thought about building a trailer for my truck. You can see the result on the pictures, let my know what you think. I used almost the same chassis as used for the original 9397 truck. All axles have doubles wheels and the first axles can rotate. So what I now need is definitely more wood :-)
