Transformer Move Through My Town

Bumpsteer said: Had one go past a week ago on the railroad....it was on a 4 truck, drop deck flatcar. No idea on weight. Ed Click to expand... Used to see one like that once in awhile going into Erie Press systems. They build and re-build giant presses, like the kind you see stamping auto hoods, and forging press's. IIRC it was 250 tons. A double gooseneck affair, could have been rated at much more, as 250 tons is not really much in the Railroad world.

They moved something similar here in the 90s. They built an oil fired generating plant. They came in by ship, and they used a similar trailer, and I think they had Kenworth trucks. Same type with the planetary drive. Thanks for posting that.

Making progress on the new 49x push trucks. Andrey fabricated a thing for the back of the frame to pin the box to. The front of the box will engage with the 5th wheel.

Push bumper.

You can order the WS with a 16mm frame, without frame horns. The front is square cut and terminated directly behind the front bumper. I don’t have a picture of the brackets that connect the push plate to the frame.

Wait, yes I do. But, the glossy paint and lighting make it hard to make it out.
