That train on wheels had a rather more interesting back story than to just be a train where there were no tracks. They used a diesel electric loco because it had a massive generator on it.

Cool stuff. Perhaps you could include a neat piece of history from my home town of Warren NH, USA. Its a Mecury Redstone rocket. It was transported from Florida in the late 60s or early 70s by a fellow who liked the town so much he wanted to give it something unique as a gift. I can remember as a little child in the mid 70s climbing inside it up to the nosecone as a "right of passage". Its still there and is most unusual

I spent months working, building and refining a home built one person hovercraft from $3 plans I ordered from the back of popular science in the early 70's and the skirt was the biggest pita

That off-road locomotive is one of the stupidest ideas ever. The power/weight ratio required for a train running on smooth tracks using steel wheels is much, much less than that required for a road vehicle using rubber wheels with a lot more rolling resistance, not to mention an off-road vehicle having to overcome unpaved, uneven, muddy or snowy terrain. I'd be surprised if that vehicle could pull its own weight in such environment, nevermind any cargo.
@joachimhupe40184 жыл бұрын
These lokomotives do not really way more than 100 tons. Even if the lokonotive would onely have 4000 hp it would still have a power to weight rathio of 40 hp/T wich is almoast 3 times as mutch as the M4 Sherman tank. So it would have no problemes pulling not onely it self but probably a ton of cargo.
