Road vehicles

[sdpnz]

Hi I'm looking for road vehicles that can couple up to railcars any help please.
I've had a look on the DLS but with no luck.

Like a car that you can drive onto the tracks, and hook up to a cut of boxcars? Not sure that I fully understand you, but if so, I am not sure if it exists yet in TRS, or real life for that matter.

I think he means drivable vehicles, such as thr S10 thats painted an atrocious purple or the BNSF mow truck.....

Something like them yes some vehicle with a train coupling is what i'm looking for

I don't believe that exists yet

Any truck that is drivable can be used. The only problem is the attachment point on the truck is too far in from the axles so it will go in a couple of feet into any railcar that you try to push or pull. One solution is to use a log reach bar.

I'm not sure if there are any on the DLS, but I think he's looking for a track mobile. These are used to move freight cars down really bad track or on the road to a short spur. They can actually lift the freight car up off the rails and drive along with the car coupled on the rear. Pretty cool I think.

You beat me to it lol. I don't think that there are any made for trainz yet though. They are really ugly if you ask me.

They sure are ugly. I've seen them at work and they are fascinating to watch. Guilford used to use them on the industrial track in Lowell - the former New Haven Lowell branch, and I think on the old Watertown branch in Waltham.

I've seen people shunting a boxcar with a pickup truck before - something like that would be neat to see in Trainz

Thanks for the input you all have given. I know there are trucks you can drive your self is there away to put a coulping on them like the red light on the back of trains. does that make things a little more clear as to what i'm asking for.
