It would be great to see some pics and specs of your small forwarder. Is it something similar in size to the Malwa forwarder, except for the tracks?…[Read more]

No, sorry but I have no contacts there. But try to contact them by mail or phone. Many universities are happy to get real projects for their students or researchers to take part in.
