The Most heaviest Load

Check out Kasgro Rail <http://www.kasgro.com/specs.asp>, which specializes in building and owns a number of heavy duty, high capacity flat cars. The highest capacity cars they own are KRL 163200 and KRL 163201 [photos: <http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/rsList.aspx?id=KRL&cid=3&rid=163200>], which are 16 axle depressed center flat cars with a maximum capacity of 900,000 pounds (450 tons). As to the largest capacity car in the US, that would be a Schnabel car built for Westinghouse Nuclear to haul containment vessels, delivered last year <http://www.railwayage.com/index.php...sgro-builds-worlds-largest-railroad-car”.html>.
 
Hi Ish:

I made:

Some 4 axle bogeys to go with my 14 in US Model E railgun.

Some 5 axle bogies to go with my 14 in U.S Navy 1914.

Some 6 axle bogies to go with my 16 in US Howitzer 1918.

I have:

A drawing of a 10 in French Schneider showing 6 axle bogies.

A drawing of a 15 in German Seigfreid rail gun seeming to show 8 axle bogies. The source of these drawings has always been very accurate so I guess thats the way they were (but they better have some serious lateral motion devices built in, lol).

If your crazy enough to want the 8 axle bogies I'm crazy enough to make them for you, lol.

Hi Ben,

WOW --- Thanks for being so informative, Ben!!!!

Oh, yeah, I would love seeing an 8 axle bogies now that the Marsz citizens are moving towards operatings super heavy loads, and things of that matter - I think we are going to need them!

On a serious note, Ben, no rush on my part, and I will be ready for the 8 bogies delivery with a smile and with big open arms!!!!
Please drop me a PM when they are done, at your convenience!!!

Thank you sir to taken the time for this!

Hi Jonhnyc1:

Let me look into it. The fact that the originals were made for 2004 might be a problem but I'm not certain.

Hi Ish:

Gravity is much less on mars so weight isn't so much of a problem as inertia. It doesn't change, lol.

Almost forgot - - - what diameter wheels do you want (std ga I assume)?
