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

Marian

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

dolphus

Thanks Marion
And here is a more conventional Rotary Snow Plow

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...

I'll post updates as they are "Conceived"....

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

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.
