With few environmental regs,- and a ban on lawyers- you could have common sense solutions to problems- track sprayers to damp down the dust near the tracks,mountains of mine tailings scattered here and there, but the storms would be a problem. Thats where the Meterological section would come in, giving warnings to stock up on supplys due to an approaching storm. Then you run emergency extras to your outposts hoping to beat the weather. You could have abandoned and storm-damaged rolling stock off the sdie of the tracks due to being just a tad slow. As for the heavy equipment , you could detail them up just about any way you wanted, no one could say they were wrong, and you might even be able to use the Ertle stuff with scaled down cabs, 'cause terraforming a planet would need huge machines. I would think that the lesser gravity would not make that much of a difference, a 200 ton loco would still be plenty heavy. Instead of ore jennies, you might be able to use wood chip cars due to the weight difference, but that would be modelers license. I wonder what an Alco 251 would sound like ?! [/quote] No environmental regulations? That's just briliant, if humans with your menataiy decided to occupy Mars our species will have two trashed planets on our hands.
