This is my first version of an 18 Axle car. Its really cool. It fully articulates just like the real thing, so it can handle lego curves no problem. It does have problems with switches, it has so much overhang that is hits the yellow switch lever. But otherwise this car can handle any track configuration. Its a very strong car too. There are only 4 weak points in the model. The wheelsets are very strong though, and the weight of the load gets distributed very evenly over all the wheels. Version 2 will have the weak points fixed up, and then I'll also try and spruce up the looks a little bit so it looks a little more like a real set.

Here are two videos of the car going around some corners:

Pretty cool... Tell me, do you have problems with derailment on sharper corners (greater than 90 degrees)?
