Heavy Equipment

Red_TVRM

Uh yeah that's right
Looking for some heavy equipment on flat cars, I haven’t been able to find any. Looking for dozers, heavy trucks, etc. Thinks you would find in a pit mine, land fill, etc.
 
Hi There,

to get this effect, this is an alternative ...

For example download my item:
http://www.auran.com/TRS2004/DLS_viewasset.php?AssetID=122002

Install the product ..

In Surveyor, place a flatcar rolling stock on the track, and then click on it's properties to install the visible product which will appear o on the rolling stock ...

To see of my product, go to the DLS, type ish6, click TR04, scroll and click product form the category, and then have fun!! :D

Hope this helps!

These also...

:cool: I agree Red, we also need partially assembled construction equipment loads like off-road dump truck chassis, large track type tractors & tractor shovels with the cab/roll-over protected structure(ROPS), blade or bucket removed & packed on the deck of the non-bulkhead flatcar.

A lot of wood dunnage is used for position & location support as well as crates containing parts. Chains & binders attached to side stake pockets & even cable clamped into loops as well as metal banding secure the loads for travel.

Tracks can be rolled up into a coil & shipped laying on its side. Several can be shipped making a loaded car. Wheel type equipment sometimes has the tires removed & shipped stacked on deck with the machine. Off road truck tires are shipped in open-type 40' containers.

Track mounted power shovels & backhoes are shipped with the bucket crowded up under the boom for low profile or removed & secured to the deck of the car.

Original equipment manufactures(OEM) paint colors should be used for a start...

A simple letter of acknowledgement would be appropriate to the OEM to let them know your using their emblem...you'll get a letter back saying it's cool. Export equipment is marked, job-site bound loads don't have to be marked but finished machines always have identifying emblems to help identify in case of theft. If you've ever had a problem with branding authorization from a manufacturer, post it here.

We now have the cars used to carry most everything.

Most equipment manufacturers use Adobe.pdf files & even have dimensional drawings of their products on their website.

You mention exactly what I was thinking. A Cat D-12 has to be railed as close as possible before being trucked in and put together. We need that in the simulation.

You must not be looking very hard then. Just search the DLS white pages using Username of MSGSapper and Category of Product. Here is the link to the white pages:
