Oh wow...thank you Gerisplarail1. You are a scholar with the knowledge of these trains. I had no idea that these particular freight haulers are all over the world including here in the States. I have never heard of them let alone seen one. I can't believe the details on this... " When empty, this car measures 231 ft 8 in (70.61 m) long; it can carry loads up to 113 ft 4 in (34.54 m) long." So with a maximum load this could get as long as 344 feet...wow and the tonnage of the car and load are massive. This is a monster and I would love to see one but I imagine they are only used in certain instances and are a rare site.

Hmmm...[Image: pondering-and-thinking-smiley-emoticon.gif] If I bought one of these I wonder how long I could modify the white freight load and still run on the tracks? Or modify some other type of cargo to fit in there...Hmmm [Image: rubbing-hands-in-excitement-smiley-emoticon.gif]
