If you look at the top of the "push over bar" it has teeth to and he can tilt it to the angle he needs as far as trees and deeper brush.

Here are a couple of my home brewed M.O.W.: Combine Caboose still needs decals and weathering, Steam derrick almost done and Speeder needs minor fix for warped plastic.
Thumb pix very bad, can not see.
Could I get a larger pix of the crane car? Looks like a donkey engine but can't tell. I'm gathering parts to build one with a rotating boom.

This is an interesting little piece of equipment I found next to the Mississippi river in Chester, Ill. Looks to me like the number one (and two) most important thing a maintenance crew can have on site.

Steve.........do you think redoing the ties and spikes while it is wet like that would do a good job?
This is a siding off the main line that they left the equipment on over night.
Toad: add a few layers of boiler plate and it looks like something we used to use to clear enemy minefields. It was also highly effective clearing scrub brush, smaller trees (less than 4 ft dia- for larger we had a Rowne Plow), also good for clearing foxholes, and other such goodies.

I got to drive one back in the late 70's. The one I sank was serial number 0002! #0001 burned up in the motor pool, some mech put mogas in the fuel tank instead of deisel.
You know they can not get it right the 1st time Save lives, heck yeah!
This is for all you wire junkies. MTW 100 catenary repair vehicle. The machine is equipped with a telescopically raised and lowered work platform that rotates and a telescopic crane mounted lift bucket
interior work area
palfinger crane
pantograph and work platform. Very dangerous area in which to be careless. There are 12,000V here during normal repair operations.
work platform with lights
This is a junker. Hey, not all of your model MOW needs to work
Now that is cool! How do you get inside and all over it?
BTW you got drawings for a rail grinder? (not a hand grinder)
That's easy Toad, just retire from the military and get a job at Passer & Theuer as a service rep for N. America. simple.
Rail grinder drawings- hmmm. I know there are some around, I'll see what I can do.
