You really need to do a detailed thread on what you did to the truck and how you arranged the rear shelter.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Thanks!That is just all around cool. Very nice looking truck and repower. Is the locomotive a runner? How much does it weigh?
Thanks!
The Steam Locomotive on my M747 belongs to the Durango Railroad Historical Society. It was restored to operating condition and now pulls special trains on the Durango & Silverton Railroad. It was moved to Chama New Mexico on my M920A1 Truck and M747 Trailer for the last couple of years to also run special Freight Trains on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad.
The Locomotive weights roughly 73'000 pounds. The total permitted weight for the Truck, Trailer and Loco was 138'000 pounds!
overall widh was 10' 6" and overall hight was 14' 9".
On this last move the Engine had to be picked up in Silverton Colorado. That meant that the trusty M920A1 had to haul this load over two of the steepest mountain passes in Colorado!
The Truck did not seem to mind it at all thought.......THANK YOU UNCLE SAM!! lol
Ok...as requested....here are some ISX 600 installation pics. This turned out to be quite "interesting" since this is a electronic engine. The overall result made it well worth all the effort thought!
Oh....and it gets better fuel milage than the original NTC400!
You guys are all crazy!!!! That was all a mock up done in HO Scale... The train was a cardboard cut out...Are you kidding me?
(Now really, M920...PM me if I can have a ride in your truck...Dont tell the other guys!)
