Still more road-rail trucks
Posted by Daniel Swearingen under Modeling Ideas , Railroads[2] comments / Leave a comment
This nice Ford road-rail truck caught while the driver was picking up his lunch in Point Richmond, California.
The track of the truck’s wheels always looks narrow on these road-railers since they need to match standard gauge tracks.

Great web site. I am also adapting Malcolm’s layout to a 9′x11′ using standard ho equipment (did not think I could afford the HOn3 stuff, and now that mdc/roundhouse is out of the picture — $$$$$$). I’m a first time builder, collected lots of MDC cars shorter than 40′ with small loco’s. My plan includes (2) 18″ radius helix, 2.75% grade, am I nuts? (your honest opinion would be helpfull).

Looking for help on evaluating a 2001 International 4900 Rail Service Truck with crane and air & welder with hydraulic tools for working rail road repairs.
Insurance adjuster in need of fair market value.
