“Two years ago I built a green Scania with a stepframe trailer, which I was really happy about at the time. However, since then I’ve decided that rather than having my truck models be generic, I want them to represent a particular trucks operated by particular companies. Furthermore, I want to use the green parts for something else.
A couple of months ago, I started looking for other trucks with similar stepframe trailers in a different colour. As my luck would have it, the driver of just such a truck ended up getting stuck in the street in front of my house, due to building work blocking his path. The turn-circle of the truck wasn’t sufficient for him to take a narrow side-street to escape, so the poor guy had to back up hundreds of meters greatly aggravating the half a dozen other drivers who had driven into the street and were stuck behind him. I got a good view of the truck in the process. It was perfect. It had a blue stepframe trailer and, also interesting, it was an MAN and I didn’t have one of those in my collection yet.”
I dont have words for this fantastic creation. The author, Mad Physicist, has made a jewel. This moc is incredible.
Gerardhogenhout has made a fantastic technic vehicle. We are always proud of the technic creations on this blog, and this is a very good one.
Not in green, but the red colour scheme fits right. Green is very expensive on bricklink.
“The mower with raised mowers. To prevent the mowers sticking out from the MOC, the mowers had to be only 4 studs high! Therefore, not many covering panels were used. Also the 4 studs thickness required special adjustments, especially for the mower’s frame strength.” Very clever i must say.
The down of the vehicle show us all the gears. As you can see, becouse of the weight of the mowers, he had to use worm gears.
And it has, of course, lights.
Finally here you have all the systems included in the vehicle:
