Overlander – 18 wheels – 1988

Overlander is a video game published by Elite Systems released in 1988.

Terrahawks is a production of Gerry Anderson and Christopher Burr.
In the series, the vehicle was normally operated automatically, by a control system that followed a laser rail. However, a driver's cabin was also present for manual control. For those who wonder how the driver got into the vehicle, the design above shows that the section on the right front is supposed to be an elevator.

The five-body three-body model is carved from wood and detailed with many parts from the model kit. The front part was built by John Lee, while the two trailers were built by Steven Woodcock.

The nine very heavy brass axles were built by Pete Bohanna and then fitted with 36 old style rubber balloon tires made from a Tamiya radio controlled toy.
