Hey everyone,

I'm back with my latest MOC: the car transporter! It's a model I have been wanting to build for a really long time, and have actually attempted but failed once already. The MOC has 2 power functions and 3 pneumatic functions:

• Lowering upper platform (power)
• Lowering ramp (power)
• Raising platform on top of cab (pneumatic)
• Raising platform on deck (pneumatic)
• Tilting upper platform (pneumatic)

There are also a lot of manual functions, like classics such as HoG steering, fake engine, suspension, and specific to this one unfolding the ramp. I also tried to add in as many details as possible, such as mirrors, lights, etc (and this is my first ever cab design).

That's it, thanks for reading/watching! I have something big coming up next :)

Great alternative.

Cool C-model, well done

Excellent C model. With builds this good showing what else the parts of a set can become LEGO could add extra value to their (increasingly expensive) sets by designing a C model and making the instructions available as downloads.

Where's its two axle trailer?

This would be a great MOC on its own but to also be a C model of one set is impressive!

I particularly like the details you've added, the fake engine fits very nicely and has convinced me my own MOC needs one too.

Thanks grum! That is an excellent idea, I would love to see that.

If I had beams or wheels left after having built this there would have been one.

Thanks a lot! fake engines are always worth it :)

Instructions please

Nice! This will be on my to-build list!

Bumping this old thread. Were instructions ever released for this fantastic 42043 alternate model? It’s not offered on the OP’s rebrickable page and I’m unable to find details - thank you in advance
