Land Train

4/08/2017

In the 1950's the US Army wanted a Land Train.  They needed to get supplies to Arctic and desert outposts with few or no roads.  So a giant vehicle that could carry up to 150 tons was developed.


I use several kinds of wooden parts I got from Hobby Lobby.


This is a diesel power unit from an HO scale train.  I got it used at a train show.


Add the wooden wheels.


And a bit of a cab from a caboose.


Quick mock up version to test the feasibility.  It's probably do-able.
