RAILWAY DRAWING

Koosie van Tutte

looks good - it may be a purposely built one.

dolphus

Yes Koosie I am sure that you are correct in your assumption
Here is a progress report on my "Super Tanker" some progress with the bogies and frame

Happy Christmas to all who visit my thread and thanks for the support

Koosie van Tutte

merry christmas to you too.

if you have images of the stickers/decals on this one it is maybe possible to determine what it is used for.

Koosie believe it or not for the life of me i cannot find the photo of the tanker it is somewhere on my pc "hiding" but i will keep on looking

Koosie van Tutte

this might be of help - i thought it might be a gas tanker because of the volume and the shape - have been searching.

i think it is the GATX96500 - 63.000 gallons - the kind of payload is not given

there is a similar looking tanker - for ethanol - 50.000 gallons.

Here is the beginning of my next project, it is an unusual vehicle ...i wonder how many folks can guess what it is going to be......no prize at this stage

charly2008

Hi,

i guess it will be a lever Handcar on rails. I'm not shure if this the correct english expression.

I would have guessed the same as Charley2008, but now i think it is a tandem bike!
Jokes. Your trains are honestly impressive. Breathtaking. Flabbergasting. Astounding. (ran out of adjectives. )
