[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ckape I found a slightly better picture on railpictures.net. Looks like it's got 2 two-axle trucks on a span bolster at each end, for a total of 4 trucks per car. There's also a lower section in the middle of the car that's not very visible from the other shot. http://railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=66926 [/quote] THANKS !!!! [:)] This photo is very good. I think this 5 light painted pieces between the trucks are a hydraulic support system that fixed the car on the rails when the Peacekeeper was fired. And 4, not only one, of this cars were built. [red]Where are the other 3 cars? Owner of the car at Dayton was Westinghouse (WECX) ?[red] Well, I think I will scratchbuilt one or two of this cars - but not after a visit at Dayton (only a 10 hours flight away) And then use the cars in a normal freight train - the prototypes on their way to a museum . I like such "UNNORMAL" transports. At the moment I rebuilt a Boeing 737-200 fuselage transport between Kansas and Seattle. The 2 railcars were easy and cheap to rebuilt but the 737 fuselage - was a not real cheap model. And I found a website with some good pictures of the car in Dayton [url="http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/usa/icbm/lgm-118.htm"] FAS site about Peacekeeper[/url] [8D]
