RAILWAY DRAWING

[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
Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_car

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.

Very Close Charley2008......
Here is another clue

[Swindel]

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. )

[dolphus]

Thanks Charley2008,and thank you Swindel for the very kind words the "non existent prize" must go to Charley2008 because he sent in proof of what i am attempting to replicate, I will be posting progress as it develops...cheers
