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.

TJ,
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)

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
You know they can not get it right the 1st time Save lives, heck yeah!

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 will never guess what I like the best????? Those 2 ties they have for stops!!!
Hey, can you go get pixs of the caboose? Inside and out?
Oh yeah what you up so late for you got grass to cut and all those men to watch over!
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.
This is a siding off the main line that they left the equipment on over night.

Steve.........do you think redoing the ties and spikes while it is wet like that would do a good job?
Are you sure that is not for the inspector? Could be his car you know jerk him down the road.......
Hi TJ
So who makes a G scale porta loo and have you got any old time HO steam roller type RR wheels.
Guess you could say the challange has been issuied

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.

Thumb pix very bad, can not see.
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.

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.

On the side of the MOW it shreads everything in its path, trees to.

Hi Toad,
Maybe they could be encouraged to build one that shreds drunken drivers as well!
