                            While trolling through the "NET" I came across a photo of an unusual SNOWPLOW so I could not resist modeling it to add to my "fleet"
                            Enjoy

                              wow. Is it a bird, is it plane, an UFO? That looks very weird. Nice modelling. πŸ‘

                                  I recently saw a photograph of a huge tanker with double articulated bogies at each end so i am going to model my version of such a tanker....I have not found any other photos or diagrams .....or plans (ha ha)...so here goes...

                                    looks good - it may be a purposely built one.

                                        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.

                                            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.
