Hanging a sign with the FEMTT Here is a somewhat different view of the FEMTT....."riding the hook" to install a sign for our favorite breakfast "watering hole"....:-D Btw...the gentleman standing by the rear of the FEMTT is famous racecar driver Al Unser senior....he stopped to see what we...

Just wanted to mention that the water temp gauge does not read high engine temp if the coolant is drained, even if the engine overheats! So they really have to have coolant present to register....hope this helps. Very cool looking truck....good luck on the trip! Soni

Rear quarter fenders and self recovery winch fairleads I have been trying to find the roller fairleads that go on the front and back of the HEMTT ever since I got the side mounted, 20,000 pound self recovery winch! Well a couple of weeks ago, I got an early Christmas present! I found a couple...

News Clip of Locomotive 168 Move Here is a link to one of the news clips from Colorado Springs station FOX21 showing some of the loading of "Old 168". http://fox21news.com/2015/09/23/old-168-is-going-back-home-to-get-a-new-life/ I specially love the comment of the little girl......:-D Soni

The XM920 MET (medium equipment transporter) is powered by a 600 hp Cummins ISX engine and an 18 speed Fuller Road Ranger transmission. It runs 79mph and cruises nicely at 65-70mph all day long. The M1070 HET (heavy equipment transporter) is powered by a 500 hp 8V92 Deroit DDEC III / IV engine...

The total combined weight of the two trucks, the trailers and the locomotive and its tender came to 241,000 pounds of "Iron Caravan".....lol :beer: Soni

There are as many different reasons as there are steam locomotives I have moved. Sometimes they have engines that don't belong to a certain railroad and the owners lease them to different roads for railfan specials. Or in this case the engine sat in a park in Colorado Springs for 75 or so years...

Well it is mostly a safety issue and at this point the XM747 is pretty much permanently assigned to the M1070 HET. It has low range on the transfer case which really helps when descending steep mountain grades or pulling the trailer out of a soft loading pit. The Allison makes it safer on the...

Locomotive D&RGW #168 Move Just got home from a three day long Locomotive move that brought former D&RGW 'ten wheeler' number 168 from Colorado Springs, CO to Antonito, CO. This is the one I had mentioned, that required the FEMTT to be equipped with a "fifth wheel module". Since it was the...

Haha....you are certainly a genuine "Greater Phoenix Area Funny Bird" Matt!!! lol

That is a REALLY NICE COMPLIMENT 'Tinwoodsman'.....I'm sure there are a lot of things that I could have done better....but THANK YOU! That is very flattering ...!!! Soni

Winch Explosion..... So the weekend was a bit crazy and I sure hope the locomotive move on Wednesday will go extra smooth to make up for it. The first two pics are of a giant birds nest (anybody know what kind of bird builds a nest like this?) that was discovered when I tried to add oil to the...

Ditto on the hitch Justin.....very nice setup!!! Have a great trip....wish I could be there.... :driver:

A Few More Details Thanks guys for posting all the nice comments! I'm always surprised how many people still follow this thread....even when I sometimes don't update it for several month!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!! So I thought I post a few more details about the 'Fifth Wheel Module'. The fifth wheel...

Finally.....The FEMTT "Fifth Wheel Module"........ An UPDATE huh....? Lol....well I apologize for my lack of activity here on this wonderful site, but work got crazy and took the better part of my summer!! I have made some progress though. I need the FEMTT as a truck tractor, to haul the...

Congratulations to "sandcobra164" for his win!!!! Nice looking truck! :beer: Soni
