Don, don't know where you find the time to build such incredible models, and come out great as well. I can barley remember to download each kit at night, let alone build them. Some day, yes some day.

Rich - Thanks for the kind words. Since I semi-retired last year, I do not have classes and lectures to prepare during the holiday season (my residual teaching is mostly in the spring and summer), and I have no writing projects underway so, except for a single book review due at the end of January, I have more time for model building. Also, I have tended to build these rather quickly and not at the same skill level as you and my other interlocutors exhibit.
I think I have one of the answers to my questions. It appears that the Econic has the dual wheels on the second axle, not the rearmost axle. Source of the image: http://static.mascus.com/image/produ...9918d64d-3.jpg Don

I'm guessing, but we have 3 axle trucks here that hydraulically lift one axle off the road when running unloaded. It is lowered when required to carry a heavy load. This saves a lot of tyre wear. On ours it's usually the back axle that lifts so that it also shortens the wheelbase, but on this rig it would make sense to raise the twin wheeled middle axle.

#21 is up. Looks like there's two more pages to this one.
Note for Volker ... So far all these carriers have been Mercedes ... are you going to unlock the downloads for the Oldtimer/Mercedes models to go on them, or is it as a Mercedes Agent in Monchengladbach once told me ... "It's not possible for that to break on a Mercedes sir." He'd had the dashboard out and completely replaced the heater controls, and fitted new wiper blades. NO CHARGE! Oh, did I mention that it was a 12 yr old car?

Yes When you have tandem rear axles and only one is Dually
The Lead axle of the tandem is the Drive axle and Dually, the following axle is single and just a Weight Helper Some Rigs do have steering on them Buses usually don't Guys, Due to the Library being closed both Sat Christmas Eve, And Monday Dec. 26, as well, I will likely Miss Models 24 & 25 (and the possible Bonus Model on Monday) I can try the Wayback Machine Tues, but am not 100% certain on how to do so. So if I can not get that to work I will let every one here know I needs those pages/models

I'll be in the same boat, but I hope this will get us there, it has been good so far this year, and southern hemisphere folks have been using it
