Wow look at this monster traincar!!!!!!

I just found this at Marsilus Trains newsletter..its on the bottom www.n-trains.de/news/1203back.pdf
If I was doing modern trains I would be itching for one of these things.

The newsletter says he will have one at Altenbeken to show.

Well maybe not a big or as heavey this is the car I built about a year ago for heavy hauling

do you have the Auran Trainz Program TS2009 or TS2012 ? If you do there is one like this not the same but its in the rolling stock in the program and it has several section to it. Its has 12 pieces to construct it.

Well funny enough I have some of these at work. My team maintain six of these beasts designated KXA-C on TOPS



Fully loaded they top out at 166 tonne

With two bogies under each span bolster they'll go round a curve as tight as a dinner plate!




The previous versions were noted for being clad in stainless steel which upped the tare weight quite a bit. The new versions are stripped right down to get the payload as high as possible

Yea! pretty cool looking! I have been trying to get a few of these cars! I have two I have 3D printed but the plastic is just to light to use as rolling stock but looks good sitting on a spur! the generater is also 3D printed.

Here is the other I did 3D printed!

Instead of trying to build span bolster in RP build a a shell to fit over either bar stock of Brass or Evergreen styrene as both can be drilled and tapped in addition the use of brass wire and rod can be used with either to enhance your detail
