hi-rail car?

[Approach_Medium]

hi;
I'm looking for a USA "highway railcar". It's just a pickup truck with railroad wheels that rides the rails for MOW.
Anyone know of such a vehicle, and where to find it.

Thanks

FW

I have one on my list of things to do, as well as a truck to base it off of, and dimensions. It is the third thing on my list of things to do.

Fwassner: BNSF MOW crane truck by Ronin13, <kuid2:97212:1805:1>
Also search MOW, and try Author Jkeenan and Yutzk. Both have models available.

Hope this helps.

Matt.

Thanks Matt. Dl'd the BNSF and also the CSX. Only complaint is that the engine is too large for the vehicle, so physics are wrong, but I couldn't have built one myself, and these look pretty good.

Wondering how fast a vehicle like this could move. I guess if they get going too fast, they would just jump the track, on account of their relatively light weight.

I am able to set up the vehicle so it does not trip the grade crossings. I'm using the ATLS system, so I set my triggers to ignore trains with a priority of 3, and set the MOW to 3, and it is very prototypical in this respect.
