Mr King Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Sleeping accommodation on an old steam lorry. Talk about creature comforts....at least they would be warm with that boiler below them. Though that was still probably a big step up from the old horse and buggy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Galbraith Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 My Grandfather used to drive a steam lorry, either a Foden or a Sentinel, I cant remember. Used to deliver coal in the 9 Elms region of London IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr King Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 I'm pretty sure it is photoshop or they are running it on narrow gauge, but its still funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzermann Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I'm pretty sure it is photoshop or they are running it on narrow gauge, but its still funny. YOu are right the width of track looks like narrow gauge. Does BNSF run any narrow gauge railway lines? I have skimmed their website, but everything looked like normal gauge. http://www.bnsf.com/ Or teh contraption is so elaborate that it not only folds the wheels down, but also outward?

Panzermann Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Has to be a photoshop. the Gross weight of that is most certainly NOT 8,800 lbs. A sMart weights soemthing like 700 to 800 kg or up to 1763 pounds. So yeah, a bit optimistic weight class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzermann Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 There is a longer version of this vid but I can not find it on youtube. I know a railway electrician and after such an accident the really annoying work starts to replace a kilometer or two of overhead wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Galbraith Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I dont know, they have a charm. Many of the once that had tap changers were noisy as hell, and certainly had character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Galbraith Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Yeah I like those too. Wierd, but you cant argue with success. I still have a fondness for 1500v Class 76 from Woodhead. Wierd, but fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
